Allan Gray Orbis
Investing in Entrepreneurial Potential
The Allan Gray Orbis Foundation focuses on investing in the education and development of entrepreneurial talent across Southern Africa. To facilitate this mission, the foundation partnered with Trend Group to find the ideal location for their new office. After selecting Protea Place, the brief centred on creating a fun, collaborative, fresh, and creative environment.

A Multifunctional and Adaptable Environment
The new office was designed to be multifunctional, accommodating the diverse activities orchestrated by the foundation. Trend Group crafted flexible spaces that can adapt easily for various purposes, from collaborative meetings to seminars, ensuring that the environment supports the foundation’s dynamic approach to entrepreneurial development.
Inspiring Zones Through Colour Blocking
To enhance the office’s appeal and functionality, Trend Group utilised colour blocking to differentiate between distinct zones. Vibrant yellow was applied in the reception area to create a warm and inviting atmosphere, ensuring a positive first impression that aligns with the foundation’s welcoming ethos.
