OFFICES AT OXFORD PARKS
INTERIOR DESIGN : TREND GROUP / HK STUDIO | PHOTOGRAPHY : ELSA YOUNG | LOCATION : OXFORD PARKS , ROSEBANK
Trend Group recently joined forces with the creative minds at HK Studio to create a breathtaking bespoke office environment of over 3,000m 2 of space in the Oxford Parks precinct in Rosebank for an international management consultant .
The new head office embodies the best of interior design , storytelling and true collaboration to create a space that transcends the expected in office design . It blends corporate functionality with a rich narrative that reflects the essence of the vibrant city of Johannesburg .
Design Concept From a functional perspective , the client ’ s fast-paced corporate environment necessitated a unique approach . Every element , from open workspaces to closed meeting rooms , was designed to cater to diverse work modes and the need for confidentiality . The office layout was devised to accommodate flexible working solutions , aligning with the evolving demands of a hybrid work model .
The project began with a compelling brief : Create an office space that exceeded expectations , making it more than just a place to work . “ This was an opportunity to redefine the concept of the modern office in the post-pandemic era , a time marked by uncertainty , where the return to physical workplaces needed a fresh perspective ,” comments Dorethe Swiegers , Operations Manager at Trend Group . The design needed to reflect the client ’ s high global standards for an office but , more importantly , needed to change the mindset of staff about returning to the office .
The client conducted extensive analysis to explore new ways of approaching office
