Cliffe Dekker Hofmeyr’s Cape Town location, situated on the popular Buitengracht Street has remained unchanged for many years now, and the time had come to refresh their street-level reception area to more accurately align with their values and rich 168-year heritage.
Thinkspace has a long-standing relationship with CDH and we were excited to refresh this vital welcome area for their clients and employees. The goal was to refine the space, inspire guests who arrive at this renowned law firm and bring it up to speed with the brand evolution the company has undergone.
The refurbishment of the space included addressing the wind trajectory into the area and placed specific focus on the journey of the guest through the space, whether entering from the street level or from the parking below.
A mix of simple, contemporary design with warm, traditional finishes is prominent in this new reception area. Combining this aesthetic with the strong CDH brand, which was introduced in various ways from signage to the detailing in the wallpaper, lends the space to a modern, sophisticated, and brand championing welcome area that both we and the client had envisioned.
