The Garden Court hotel is the prototype of the new look for the Garden Court brand for the Southern Sun Group. This development consists of 204 rooms, conference facilities, meeting rooms, bars and entertainment venues.
Stefanutti Stocks Building KZN started on this project in mid March 2009, and the target for completion is mid May 2010. The structure was completed in under seven months, covering a total area of 26 500m2, including the basement areas.
The building itself consists of four levels of basement parking, five hotel levels as well as the plant room which is situated on the sixth floor.
Originally bathroom installation was going to be via the prefabricated pod system. The pods could not be supplied in time to meet the tight program deadlines, hence the conventional bathroom installation route was chosen. This resulted in a massive resource requirement in terms of domestic as well as selected sub contractors.
“Part of the new look for the hotel brand includes the external façade - an aluminum lattice screen clad in sand stone,” says Gary Coetzee, contracts manager. This time consuming and complex finish has been challenging but the finished result is one to be proud of.”
