Project Overview
165 on West in Sandton, Johannesburg is a 5,800 sqm commercial architecture and interior refurbishment project delivered by Arc Sthetics, led by Architect Ryno Dreyer with interior spatial redesign by Izel van der Merwe. This hybrid commercial upgrade repositioned an existing Sandton office building through targeted architectural intervention and structured interior refurbishment, strengthening roadside visibility, modernising shared spaces, and improving tenant experience.
Arc Sthetics delivered this commercial building upgrade in Sandton as a combined architecture and interior design commission, covering concept design, documentation, contractor coordination, and construction administration. Architectural scope was limited to the pergola and front-of-house enhancement, while the primary focus remained on commercial office interior design and shared space optimisation within the existing building structure.
The client, a property developer, required a repositioning strategy for this commercial office building in Sandton to strengthen roadside visibility, modernise shared spaces, and improve tenant experience without altering the primary building structure. The scope included lift lobby upgrades, double-volume atrium redesign, reception enhancement, acoustic and spatial optimisation, front-of-house landscaping and pergola installation, and increased façade visibility from the roadside.
This project demonstrates Arc Sthetics' capability to deliver commercial building upgrades and repositioning strategies in Sandton and Johannesburg, combining architectural and interior design expertise to transform existing commercial properties without the cost and disruption of full redevelopment. If you are a property developer or building owner looking to reposition a commercial asset in Johannesburg, Arc Sthetics can help.
