REFLECTING UNIQUE CONTEXT
Awarded as the principal contract for the implementation of Google’s offices in Johannesburg, the objective was to design an office that not only meets Google’s high standards but also embodies the spirit of South Africa. The environment needed to reflect the unique context of the space, as well as foster a productive and creative atmosphere for their staff. This was done through a variety of themed zones, from quiet focus areas to vibrant social hubs.
ATTENTION TO DETAIL
The design of the new office, envisioned by Boogertman Architects, beautifully combines traditional African-inspired elements with non-traditional materials – both visually striking and deeply rooted in the local cultural context. The office was meticulously designed to provide high levels of acoustic comfort, aligning with Google’s stringent requirements. Exemplifying the brand’s employee-centric philosophy, amenities include a gym, a mothers’ room, a games room, and a canteen. Design elements throughout the office are intricately detailed, requiring a meticulous approach for a cohesive and creative workspace adhering to Google’s high aesthetic standards.
TOP SUSTAINABILITY RATING
Trend Group’s successful implementation of this office fit-out showcases our ability to deliver innovative and comfortable work environments, while enhancing Google’s reputation as an employer of choice. What’s more, the sustainability aspect of this workspace achieved impressive credentials, with a 5-star Green Star rating and Gold LEED certification.
