1 Thibault Square, Office building in City Bowl, Cape Town, South Africa
The 1 Thibault Square building rises 126 meters into the sky with 32 floors and features modern architectural elements throughout its structure.
Built between 1969 and 1972, this skyscraper was initially known as the BP Centre before becoming the LG Building in subsequent years.
The structure stands at Thibault Square, near a bronze sculpture called Mythological Landscape by John Skotnes that represents local diversity.
