Details That Make a Difference Key bespoke features include the interactive sample island, custom lighting in reception and boardrooms, and carefully curated finishes and furniture. Previously heavy black and aluminium surfaces were repainted to create a softer, brighter aesthetic, while warmer, darker tones were retained in transition areas such as the kitchenette, featuring a tactile backsplash.
Materials and furniture add texture and variety, with multiple carpet types and wood finishes displayed in varied installation styles to subtly highlight Trend Group’ s office fit-out capabilities.
Innovative technology, including electrically operated blinds and iPad-enabled boardroom bookings, enhances functionality while underscoring a future-ready design approach.
Execution and Project Considerations Delivered in a semi-live environment, this office fit-out project had a quick turnaround and was completed in phased stages, allowing staff to work remotely during key periods such as flooring installation. The office incorporates repurposed materials, indoor plants to improve air quality, and products sourced from local suppliers- approaches that also support the project’ s longterm sustainability.
Corporate Office Showcase The redesigned Cape Town office has received positive feedback from both staff and clients. Representing a fresh approach to corporate office design within the industry, the project showcases Trend Group’ s capabilities, blending functional workspace with subtle showroom elements to create a welcoming and inspiring environment. The space is designed to feel warm and calming, offering a relaxed atmosphere for both staff and clients.
