Payfast Offices – Cape Town
Trend Group designed a new office space in Cape Town for Payfast, focusing on merging company cultures with a formal client area and a playful, interactive open plan layout.
Payfast the instant online payment platform is becoming apart of our everyday life – Trend was asked to upgrade their everyday life by creating a new office environment.
The new space creates an opportunity for three companies to merge into one as part of the DPO Group. Combining the three different office cultures was a challenge to consider in terms of layout and finishes.
The client facing areas were required to be more formal incorporating more timbers and warm tones to create a welcoming environment for their high-end clientele
However, the open plan office was designed for a more playful, fun and interactive space – focusing on employees to connect and rejuvenate. Pops of colour divide the rows of desking with breakaway spaces for focus, collaboration and brainstorming. We maintained keeping the furniture and dividers flexible to future proof the space for growth.
The space fosters a variety of activities and has a mixture of moods and tones to match the functionality of the particular spaces.
