ENTERTAINMENT AFRICA

6 PARKS BOULEVARD , OXFORD PARKS , DUNKELD | INTERIOR ARCHITECT : TÉTRIS | PHOTOGRAPHY : ELSA YOUNG

When Sony Music Entertainment Africa wanted to create an extraordinary place where employees and artists would want to spend time , Tétris conceptualised an inspirational space where people come together and creativity thrives .

A part of the client ’ s journey from initial property search through to occupation ,
Tétris has been immersed in Sony Music ’ s culture throughout the process of designing and building their 1,050m 2 office in the new Oxford Parks development .
The team nurtured a strong relationship to bring the shared vision to life through a full turnkey design and build service , starting with a customised workplace strategy and space plan .
The design team found inspiration in the interior of a guitar , with its timber curves , struts and structural elements , seen throughout the space with timber structures , organic formed benches and lighting suspended from the exposed ceiling . The timber finishes and grain follow the shape on the guitar , visible in the space leading to the meeting rooms
