DELOITTE AFRICA HEADQUARTERS
DELOITTE AFRICA HEADQUARTERS
COPORATE HEADOFFICE
The African headquarters for global professional services company Deloitte consolidated operations previously spread across a campus of eight buildings. The move formed part of a progressive organisational culture shift aligned with Deloitte’s global workplace principles. This sustainable smart building was designed to encourage staff interaction, foster integration and improve efficiencies while being geared for future expansion. Conceptually, the workspace is designed as a ‘racetrack’ with an active edge surrounding a large, multi-volume atrium. Primary and secondary brand colours animate the edges of all six levels, providing a cascade of colour and an easily legible, intuitive wayfinding mechanism. Large, open floor plans enable interaction, collaboration and social engagement. The floor plan strategically combines active, high-energy zones, quiet, focus and huddle rooms. A combination of traditional and agile workstations maximise engagement and productivity. Relaxation and reflective spaces such as a yoga garden with meditation booths balance out active spaces such as a games room, library and newsroom. A mobile app, which interacts with a specifically designed iconographic signage system with integrated QR codes, facilitates the sharing of workspaces. The ground floor atrium provides client meeting spaces, lifestyle facilities including a coffee shop, restaurant, pub and an external pizza oven.
