Gartner
A Sophisticated Hub for Global InsightsJohannesburg
For Gartner, a global leader in research and advisory services, Trend Group delivered a sophisticated and professional office fit-out. The design reflects the company’s authority and global reach, featuring a timeless aesthetic with high-quality finishes and a refined color palette. The workspace is designed to support deep focus and collaboration, with a mix of private offices, quiet rooms, and state-of-the-art meeting and conference facilities, creating an environment conducive to strategic thinking and analysis.
Balancing Global Standards with Local Flair
Trend Group was entrusted with constructing Gartner’s new head office on behalf of Space Matrix. The challenge was to adhere to Gartner’s global guidelines while incorporating materials suitable for the South African market, ensuring a seamless blend of local availability and cultural aesthetics.
Elevating Operational Standards
The relocation of Gartner’s head office emphasised the necessity of aligning the new space with the company’s global operational standards. Special attention was given to creating an environment that supported Gartner’s working methods, reflecting international design benchmarks.
Sophisticated Features for Optimal Functionality
A notable feature of the project is the Barrisol ceiling in the main boardroom, enhancing both aesthetics and acoustics. Superior soundproofing in meeting rooms, along with advanced lighting and audiovisual equipment, catered to diverse professional needs. The introduction of collaborative areas further enhanced the sophistication and flexibility of the workspace.
A Fusion of Industrial and Modern Design
Guided by Space Matrix, the design artfully combined industrial and modern finishes, resulting in a workspace that is both raw and inviting. The incorporation of concrete textures and warm timbers, paired with soft furnishings, created a comfortable yet contemporary environment, embodying Gartner’s innovative spirit.
