Barclays
A Prestigious Partnership in Sandton
Trend Group was thrilled to take on the build component of Barclays’ office fit-out in Sandton, collaborating closely with Mace Projects and Design Dex. Our mission was to create a modern workspace that reflects Barclays’ esteemed reputation while providing an inspiring environment for their team.
A Chic and Sleek Design
The design embraced a sleek and sophisticated aesthetic, featuring industrial elements like exposed ceilings that add character. We used a mix of floor finishes—including screeds, carpets, and vinyl—to enhance both style and functionality. Timbers were introduced through elegant cladding and eye-catching ceiling details, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere. Most of the construction was locally sourced, highlighting our commitment to supporting local craftsmanship, apart from the imported carpets.
Innovative Features for a Functional Workspace
Throughout the office, we implemented several specialised features to maximise functionality. One highlight was the installation of access flooring, allowing for flexible layouts and easy access to services beneath the floor. Managing IT installations in a compact space presented its challenges, but our team tackled it with care and precision.
Unique Customised Flooring
A standout aspect of the project was the custom-made epoxy flooring. We applied two layers of epoxy and then scarified the surface to create a unique colour and texture that truly enhanced the overall design. This striking floor not only looks great but also holds up to the demands of a busy office environment.
A Rewarding Collaboration
Working with Barclays was an exciting experience for us at Trend Group. The team brought energy and a fresh perspective to the project, making our collaboration both enjoyable and inspiring. Their commitment to quality and unique corporate standards guided us every step of the way.
