Timber features greet you as you enter the premises.
Designed by architect Tony Hofman of Hofman
Architects, they created a facility that is unique,
dynamic and responsive to ensure that it doesn’t
just become another building but a destination
within the precinct. As a company that is proud of
its heritage, the office embraces its heritage and
legacy that the company has created over the past
two decades by using team photos taken annually
since 2006, which are displayed with other
Atterbury memorabilia collected since 1994.
The offices wooden façade are an extension and
introduction to its beautiful interior spaces. It
features large dramatic canopies that create a
covered urban gathering space and distinctive
entrance to the building. Its significant presence is
highly visible from all sides of the precinct. The
warm, welcoming interior, made of timber and
steel, was created by interior architect Gysbert van
Graan and interior decorator Wytske van Wyk.
They acquired several of carpenter David
Krynauw’s wooden creations for the office,
