Warm, soft tones contrast with bold graphic brand colours, while timber curves, copper insets and floor detailing visually connect a range of flexible spaces suited to different work activities.

The floorplate of the office is formed as a sweeping circulation passage around a central core of meeting rooms with focus areas, touchdown and support areas utilising the corners. The geometry of curves is echoed in artworks that are framed in carefully crafted timber circles and the fanned signature pleated artwork in reception. Sustainable design elements are used throughout the project based on the ten pillars of the Tetris Sustainability Code.
The project has received a Five Star Green Star Interiors Rating from the Green Building Council of South Africa.
