Our Work

1000 sqm, Sandton, Johannesburg, South Africa. 2025 Suits & Sneakers’ The Tryst is a purpose-designed collaborative workspace created to support small business owners, entrepreneurs, and professionals seeking a considered third space outside of the traditional office or home environment. The venue is designed to accommodate focused work, meetings, collaboration, and hosted events, offering a professional yet relaxed setting that encourages connection and productivity. The brief called for a space that felt confident but approachable—polished without formality, and structured without rigidity. The intention was to create an environment where individuals and groups could work comfortably, meet with clients, host discussions, and engage with others in a setting that feels welcoming, credible, and well-considered. The spatial planning is intentionally structured, with clearly defined zones that support different modes of work and interaction. Dedicated meeting areas allow for focused discussions and presentations, while privacy pods provide quieter spaces for calls or individual work. Open collaboration areas encourage informal engagement and shared use, ensuring the space supports both independent work and group activity without visual or functional confusion. Materiality plays a central role in shaping the character of the interior. A restrained palette of warm neutrals is balanced with darker accents and textured finishes, creating a space that feels grounded and sophisticated. Upholstered seating, carefully selected finishes, and considered acoustic treatments contribute to comfort and usability, while maintaining a clean, contemporary aesthetic. The lighting design reinforces this balance, providing clarity and functionality without overpowering the space. Brand expression is integrated with subtlety. Rather than overt branding, the design reflects the Suits & Sneakers ethos through tone, material choices, and spatial intent. The environment aligns with a modern business culture that values authenticity, collaboration, and meaningful interaction. From a practical perspective, durability and longevity were key considerations. Furniture and finishes were selected to withstand regular use by a diverse range of users, while maintaining a refined appearance. The design prioritises function without sacrificing visual coherence, ensuring the space remains adaptable to different working styles and group sizes. The Tryst is designed as a reliable, thoughtfully planned environment that supports how people work today. It offers structure without stiffness and a setting that encourages people to engage—whether working independently, meeting with others, or participating in shared experiences within the space.

Rohlig Grindrod – IT Workspace Refurb Next Interiors was appointed to transform the IT department at Rohlig Grindrod’s Sandton office into a more focused, functional, and future-ready workspace. The brief called for a complete refurbishment that would better support the team's workflow, reflect the brand’s identity, and create a more engaging daily experience. The design response focused on balancing open collaboration with moments of privacy and concentration. The main workspace features an open-plan layout with thoughtfully integrated desk-based acoustic screens, allowing for seamless communication without sacrificing acoustic comfort. A dedicated breakaway space was introduced to encourage informal discussions and creative thinking, offering the team flexibility in how they work. Brand storytelling played an important role in the spatial narrative. Custom wallpaper and acoustic finishes were used to echo Rohlig Grindrod’s identity, bringing visual energy and a sense of ownership to the space. Functional elements like a full-height writing wall add an interactive layer while keeping the overall design clean and contemporary. This project showcases the value of small-footprint, high-impact interventions — where strategic design decisions elevate both performance and atmosphere, resulting in a workspace that is tailored, efficient, and unmistakably theirs.

Seats Ahead – Trade Showroom Next Interiors was commissioned to design a flagship showroom for Seats Ahead, showcasing their diverse seating ranges to trade buyers, designers, and industry professionals. Located in Johannesburg, the space needed to function as both a practical display area and a refined brand environment — striking the balance between utility and style. The design concept centred around a clean, minimal, and upmarket aesthetic. A predominantly white-on-white palette was chosen to allow the furniture pieces to take centre stage, creating a neutral yet sophisticated backdrop. Bold lighting elements and carefully curated feature zones add rhythm and contrast, guiding visitors through the showroom experience. Flexibility was key to the spatial planning. The layout was designed to accommodate regular product swaps and future collections, ensuring long-term relevance and usability. Each display area was treated as its own stage, allowing for clear product differentiation while maintaining a cohesive visual language throughout. This project reflects the power of restraint — where precision, simplicity, and clarity create an immersive brand experience that elevates both the products on display and the company behind them.

We were entrusted with the challenge of delivering a high-performance workspace with a distinctive industrial edge – a setting that would balance style with substance. The result is a sophisticated, multi-use environment layered with texture, purpose, and personality. Key creative elements include bespoke timber joinery, hand-painted artistic wall murals by local talent, and raw materiality that anchors the design in authenticity. These feature points are intentionally understated yet impactful, offering moments of inspiration without overpowering the function of the space. Acoustics and sustainability were central to the design approach. Open-plan areas were carefully treated to manage sound, while enclosed pods provide refuge for quiet concentration. Materials were curated with a focus on longevity and environmental impact – favouring durable, low-VOC, and responsibly sourced products to meet both aesthetic and ethical goals.

Inspired by the firm’s corporate identity, a palette of layered blues was used throughout the space, anchoring the design with a sense of trust and composure. Crisp white furniture with clean lines added contrast and lightness, keeping the environment open and fresh. Every detail was considered to support the day-to-day needs of a focused legal practice. From discreet storage to thoughtful layout, the result is a workspace that feels both efficient and serene — professional without being clinical, and welcoming without distraction.

Grid Control Technologies – Head Office Fit-Out A full turnkey interior solution for Grid Control Technologies’ new head office — a 3,000-square-metre facility housed in a newly constructed building. As a tech-driven company operating at the forefront of smart metering and utility management, their space needed to reflect both innovation and precision. From initial space planning to final furniture installation, the brief called for an environment that could support multiple departments working in sync, while showcasing the company’s identity through design. The layout was carefully configured to balance openness with structure, supporting collaboration without compromising focus. A modern, industrial-inspired aesthetic guided the interior design, aligning with Grid Control’s technology-first mindset. We embraced raw finishes and bold materials — working with concrete, black steel detailing, and steel mesh to create focal points and texture throughout. Sustainability was also a key priority. As a company focused on responsible resource management, Grid Control was committed to a space that reflected those values. We specified sustainable materials and finishes, and prioritised natural light and airflow by keeping the floorplan open, using generous glazing, and allowing for passive ventilation wherever possible. This project is a statement of scale, clarity, and conscience — purpose-built for a company shaping the future of smart infrastructure.

SAS Institute Johannesburg Office Refurbishment Over multiple phases, we revitalized the SAS Institute’s Johannesburg building, transforming it into a cutting-edge, future-ready workspace.
