Project Management in Cape Town

dhk { } thinkspace is an interior design practice that produces effective human solutions through inspirational design in built form.

We deliver client focused, tailored, business solutions through cutting edge design and management processes. Approach To unlock the buildings potential, we built a new internal staircase to create flow between floors and to build a common platform in the atrium in which staff can take breaks, relax, engage and enjoy fun activity. The design focus was set to visually introduce UK schemes into the space to set the scene in which the agent are connected to the client, to educate and build awareness. A bright and vibrant colour pallet was chosen in line with brand values and clients CI. A variety of informal meeting hubs were introduced to enhance team engagement and information exchange. Approach An overall clean and contemporary design foundation was achieved through a neutral black and white envelope. The neutral foundation is activated by punches of colour and distinct details such as strong angled forms in partitions, shopfronts and bulkhead details. The demarcation of space was achieved through variation of floor finish, workstation layout, specification of surfaces, and colour. Approach A strong visual language embedding the ASDA brand identity. A variety of spaces were created to engage, chill, explore, eat, and work. Bold graphics are a basis of the design through breakout areas, brain storming rooms and meeting rooms. Result A vibrant working environment that stimulates flexibility and variety. Brief To create a technologically superior but user friendly call centre for clients and employees whilst reflecting Cell C’s freshly launched re-branding Our approach We worked hand in hand with Cell C management and a professional team on this new multi-level build. Result Cell C’s new nature and people inspired re-branding served as the platform for this exceptional interior. A neutral colour palette for the floors, walls and desking created a warm and inviting backdrop. Colourful corporate accents on screening, together with feature lighting, strategically placed large format graphics and organic furniture pieces brought the needed energy to the interior. Only high grade commercial finishes were used throughout for this demanding environment.
