Mezzanine

The director of Southern Africa Litigation Center (SALC) wanted to create an industrial office space, our inspiration coming from the Roman and Williams offices in New York. We tried to open up the space as much as possible by leaving the ceiling exposed as well as keeping the dividing walls between the offices as low as possible, yet still private. The doors and fanlights for each of the offices were steel framed glass doors, with industrial pendant lights dropped into each of these spaces. All the trimmings and fittings were finished in black, leaving the floors as raw as possible by laying a light screed for a worn cement look. The reception desk was clad with pressed ceilings panels and the top in raw mild steel. Then in the dining area and lounge we left it open plan, using found vintage furniture that was refurbished for these areas. White metro tiles were used on the kitchen walls and a wired glass panel created more of an industrial feel.
