After a welcoming glass of South African Chardonnay or Pinot Noir the guests had the opportunity to explore the 4 storeys of the new building worth 9,5 million Euro. In the atrium of 180 square metres as well as on the upper passages there are art works from South Africa to be admired. Various materials from South Africa were used for the building, like the beige-coloured stone of the facade which comes from a quarry near Johannesburg. |
