Conduit Interior has delivered a series of transformative projects for Bryte Insurance across three major centres in South Africa , with their flagship head office in Rosebank being the most recent project . Grant Johnson , Conduit Interior founder and director , along with his team , have once again showcased their expertise in creating innovative and functional workspaces that prioritise employee well-being and organisational success .

When elaborating on the in-depth process of Conduit Interior ’ s approach and vision for the office spaces , Johnson highlighted the evolution of Bryte ’ s workplace needs in response to the changing dynamics brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic , emphasising a new hybrid working policy and a focus on employee wellness .
Johnson says : “ Bryte ’ s workplaces need to support their new hybrid work policy . Globally , research has shown that the top
three things employees want from the office are all productivity related : To collaborate with others effectively ; easier access to tools and resources ; and the ability to focus . With this in mind , smart space optimisation and dynamic space planning are a necessity - the space needs to effectively evolve with the business requirements . So we had to keep this at the fore when we started to design their nationwide offices whilst still considering what each space would allow us to achieve .
One of the key aspects that sets these projects apart was our commitment to crafting unique environments for each location while maintaining a cohesive interior brand identity for Bryte Insurance . Whether it was the sophisticated and corporate ambiance of the Gauteng head office or the colourful and playful design of the Umhlanga office , each space was carefully tailored to suit its specific location while reflecting Bryte ’ s overarching values .”
