SYDNEY BRENNER INSTITUTE FOR MOLECULAR BIOSCIENCE LABORATORY PHASE 1

TYPOLOGY : Heritage | CLIENT : Wits University | LOCATION : Jubilee Road, Johannesburg | YEAR : 2011

This heritage building was located along the historical Jubilee Road. The historical layers of the geology, natural landscape and social history was uncovered to create a refurbished building that rescripted the various subverted layers that went before. The outbuilding was repurposed as a place of importance that housed the laboratory of the Bio-molecular Institute, whilst the closed verandah was opened up with a new glass box that was deliberately set off axis that exposed the reproduced columns of old.
