The Rubik is a stunning 27-storey mixed-use tower in the center of Cape Town, seamlessly blending luxury apartments, high-end office space and retail areas. Designed by dhk Architects, its bold stackedcubes design breaks with traditional buildings, giving it a dynamic, contemporary feel. Located on the corner of Loop and Riebeek Streets, the building sits between the city’s financial district—where taller structures are encouraged—and the heritage district, characterized by smaller, historic buildings. Saint-Gobain’s glass solutions play a crucial role in enhancing both the sustainability and aesthetics of The Rubik. Glass products like COOL-LITE® KNT 140 ensures excellent solar protection, while COOL-LITE® SKN 176 combines high light transmission with low solar gain, thus reducing energy consumption for cooling. Additionally, COOL-LITE® ST 136 provides privacy thanks to its slightly reflective appearance, while maintaining optimal levels of natural light. These advanced glazing solutions help create a comfortable, energyefficient environment, making The Rubik a benchmark for modern urban architecture in South Africa. Perfectly positioned in one of the world’s most captivating cities, The Rubik offers an unrivalled lifestyle and business hub, with easy access to Cape Town’s best amenities.
