Project: Old Mutual Wealth

Date: 2019

Location: Cape Town

Type: Commercial

IHBAZA, sister company of Inhouse Design Studio, was tasked with refreshing
the office space of Old Mutual Wealth, an 11,000 square metre, five-floor fitout. The brief sought an interior upscale that repurposed and preserved as
much of the existing services and infrastructure as possible. The result is a
sleek and contemporary office space that boasts improved functionality and
five floors, each with their own aesthetic identity.

Old Mutual Wealth

The ground floor functions exclusively as a client-facing space and exudes a
sense of high-end luxury. A monochromatic colour palette is broken by pops
of gold, copper, blue and plum – Old Mutual Wealth’s new brand colours –
while touches of living greenery add a softness to an otherwise chic-formal
space. The open-plan setting boasts a host of functional meeting spaces that
cater for varying needs; formal enclosed rooms afford privacy for both large
and small meetings, while open-plan breakaway lounges illuminated by
statement pendant lights offer a more relaxed setting.

Each floor has a unique identity expressed through accent colours and
patterns. These are expressed through custom vinyls set on glass glazing
panels and wallpapers in the various brand colours. Careful consideration was
made to place varying employee groups in their most ideal setting and each
floor hosts a variety of large boardrooms, smaller focus rooms, and
breakaway lounges to cater for them accordingly. Smart technological
systems that afford ultimate ease of use, such as power-integrated
tables/panels and daylight-harvesting time systems boasting lighting that
dims as the day goes by and motion sensors, complete this modernised office
space.
