When CDH, one of South Africa’s leading law firms approached us to design their client-facing area and training facility on the ground floor of their building in Sandton, we were excited to produce an environment that would be a fitting representation of this illustrious 166-year-old company.
The client lounge is characterised by rich, warm timber, and small touches of mid-century detailing seen in the choice of the statement pendant over the coffee bar. We also included a contemporary take on wall paneling as well as a modern touch in the illuminated glass wall detail. Welcoming and warm, this area promotes a variety of different activities and levels of privacy in one space. The dining room, set in a tapered corner of the area, offers a picturesque view overlooking Sandton.
The contemporary yet simple wall paneling is juxtaposed by the sharp, angular table that harmoniously pitches classic against futuristic. The raked auditorium is an inclusive environment, partially wheelchair friendly, with built-in writing desks and retractable monitors.
