South Africa 2005: Utopia. Nowhere. Close.

De Beers Headquarters & Support Services Unit
Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa - Gapp Architects & Urban Designers, Lucien le Grange Architects, Van der Merwe Miszewski Architects

DeBeers is the world’s largest diamond producer, its history inextricably linked to the industrial history of South Africa. This new Head Office is located in the hermetically secured compound of the group’s operating campus immediately south of Johannesburg’s city centre, and is intended to complete the integration of functions within the campus. The building is a finely crafted and highly detailed corporate building located in a landscape of prosaic industrial buildings.
