Illovo Edge offers premium grade office building of approximately 7,400m2 gross floor area. We feature two Interior projects, namely the Grant Thornton Head Office and Total South Africa, both based in Johannesburg. Grant Thornton wanted the interior designers to merge both of their Johannesburg offices under one roof, while providing a new and refreshed collaborative workspace. The new Total head office was to reflect the global corporate identity of Total while at the same time remaining local and African. I hope you enjoy this great array of projects and remember to have a look at the Go for Gold feature – it really is a wonderful initiative. Editorial
