Building Traxtion’s New Head Office

Traxtion, a prominent transport company known for its exceptional rail services across Africa, partnered with Trend Group to build their new head office alongside HK Design. The vision was to create a workspace that reflects their commitment to excellence through a natural yet industrial design.

 

Honouring Heritage

The team was careful to respect the historical significance of the protected Rosebank Fire Station while infusing modern sophistication into the design. Traxtion appreciated the building’s rich heritage and stunning views of the Johannesburg treetops, which informed many design decisions.

Celebrating Authentic Materials

To embrace the building’s history, the design features an exposed ceiling and incorporates warm materials like timber, marble, and copper. This blend of elements adds character to the space while creating an inviting atmosphere.

 

A Welcoming First Impression

As you enter the office, you are greeted by a striking curved slatted timber wall that draws inspiration from Traxtion’s branding, resembling the nose of a locomotive. This thoughtful design element makes a memorable first impression.
