Sasfin approached Thinkspace to design their offices in Umhlanga with the specific view of creating a space that is comfortable and elegant, one that fosters collaboration and encourages authenticity, perfectly encapsulating Sasfin’s philosophy and going beyond a bank and enabling growth.
Our philosophy of spatial planning was to accentuate the breath-taking views of the ocean and ensure that the most utilized spaces make the most of natural light and soothing landscapes.
The design vision was closely related to creating a space that was holistically designed, with brand identity and location seamlessly blended. This took note of industrial, honest materials, and design features that would enhance the space while also highlighting its incredible backdrop. The result? A cool environment that both calms and energises its occupants.
Branding details within the space range from the requisite logo on the front reception desk to the subtle texture effect in the wallpaper design. To us, branding is more than just a colour and a logo; there needs to be an underlying language that flows throughout the space and forms the basis of each design decision we make. From the selection and design of the flooring finish through to the specifications of the fabrics or the range of lighting fixtures that feature on the final product. In this installation, detail was key.
The result is that we were able to deliver an amazing product – one that is intrinsically Sasfin, and appropriately Umhlanga.
