The iconic 1 Thibault building in Cape Town's CBD was converted from commercial office space to residential apartments. Aertec AAC was specified for the new internal partitions throughout the conversion, delivering the speed of installation and superior acoustic separation required for residential use.
Converting office buildings to residential use in the Cape Town CBD is an increasingly common development strategy, driven by the demand for urban residential living and the availability of dated office stock. Such conversions require partitioning that can be installed quickly within existing floor plates and delivers residential-standard acoustic separation between units — requirements that Aertec AAC meets effectively.
The 1 Thibault project is one of several Cape Town CBD commercial-to-residential conversion projects where Aertec AAC has been specified, establishing the material's track record in this growing market segment.
