WEWORK THE LINK
WEWORK, THE LINK
CO-WORKING SPACE
Paragon Interface served as architect of record for WeWork’s first office in South Africa, located at The Link in Rosebank, Johannesburg. The London-based in-house design team provided the global design framework, while Paragon Interface adapted the details for the local market, specifying materials, construction methods, and finishes, and providing input on the selection of art and furniture. The 11,307m² workspace prioritises communal spaces such as the community bar and multiple pause areas, surrounded by shared office spaces. Warm furnishings and layered textures create a welcoming atmosphere, offering members a comfortable “home-away-from-home.” Locally manufactured products were used wherever possible, supporting the South African design and construction industry while maintaining the brand’s high standards. The project was delivered in close collaboration with WeWork’s London team, consulting engineers, and a turnkey design-and-build contractor to achieve a fast and efficient rollout.
