Sasol Place is one of the biggest office developments in South Africa and forms part of a movement to create a new business district in Sandton. The building is designed in an S-shape, which links the core of the building with two atriums and represents the linked particles of the Sasol logo. The internal structure of the building is made up of a central core with extending arms which are interconnected by a series of bridge links, designed with the intention to encourage collaboration and teamwork amongst all employees. The bridge links also provide structural support, enabling the weight and counterweight of the various components of the building to be held together without the use of straight columns.
