Innovating Everyday Life: The PayFast Vision
As a key player in modern online transactions, PayFast sought to elevate their work environment with a new office design that reflects their dynamic identity. Tasked with this project, Trend Group aimed to create a space that merges three distinct companies within the DPO Group into one cohesive entity, fostering a unified culture.
A Harmonious Blend: Combining Office Cultures
The project focused on integrating three different office cultures through thoughtful layouts and finishes. Client-facing areas were designed to be more formal, utilising warm timbers and inviting tones to create a welcoming atmosphere for high-end clientele while maintaining a professional identity for PayFast.







Designing for Engagement: The Creative Process
In contrast, the open-plan office was envisioned as a vibrant, playful environment that encourages employee interaction and rejuvenation. Bright pops of colour were incorporated to divide workstations, complemented by breakaway zones for focused work and collaboration. Flexibility in furniture and space dividers was prioritised to accommodate future growth.
Multifunctional Spaces: Crafting Varied Experiences
The new office fosters a variety of activities and moods tailored to the functionality of each area. By integrating distinct zones—from quiet focus areas to collaborative hubs—Trend Group ensured that the workspace promotes both individual productivity and team interaction, enhancing overall workplace culture.

Celebrating Diversity: Successful Project Outcomes
The final design is a vibrant testament to the successful merging of diverse company cultures within the DPO Group. By blending formal client areas with a lively open-plan workspace, Trend Group created a balanced environment that enhances employee satisfaction and collaboration, perfectly aligning with PayFast’s vision.
Trend Group’s Commitment to Excellence
In summary, Trend Group’s project for PayFast highlights our dedication to crafting workspaces that reflect client identities while fostering engagement. This office design exemplifies our expertise in harmonising multiple corporate cultures into a cohesive and adaptable environment, laying the groundwork for PayFast’s future growth and success.
