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.
We recently partnered with Next Interiors, led by the talented Jill Munger, to redesign our IT office space—and the outcome has been exemplary.
From the outset, the team demonstrated an exceptional level of professionalism, creativity, and patience. They listened carefully to our ideas and needs, and then translated those into a layout that not only works perfectly for our technical workflows but also uplifts the entire atmosphere of the workspace. The creative solutions they proposed struck a perfect balance between functionality and modern aesthetic, truly elevating what we thought was possible.
What impressed us most was how seamless the entire process was. Jill and her team were transparent, well-organized, and incredibly informative throughout each stage of the project. They accommodated our evolving requirements and timelines with grace and flexibility, which made what could have been a stressful undertaking feel smooth and collaborative.
Not only did they deliver on every promise, they surpassed our expectations in both design execution and client service. The final result speaks for itself—our IT team absolutely loves the new environment, and we’ve received glowing feedback from colleagues in other departments who have complimented the layout, lighting, and overall feel of the space.
We are thrilled with the outcome, and without a doubt, we would work with Next Interiors again in the future. We wholeheartedly recommend Jill and her team to anyone seeking expert interior design services that are thoughtful, effective, and executed with genuine care.
