work zones and more subdued lighting in break out areas and pause zones, to give occupants varying degrees of lighting throughout the day.” Special attention was given to limit glare from the light fittings onto computer screens and to correct lux levels for the various zones. The dynamic team of professionals behind the new development undertaken by JT Ross included the RCL Foods Executive, Elphick Proome Archi- tects and Novospace, as well as a leading team of engineers and sub-contractors. The interior design is inspired by RCL Food’s collaborative culture and its passion for providing "more food to more people, more often". The ultimate result is a truly African working environment – one that departs from the familiar sameness of competing companies to create its own bespoke industrial aesthetic and identity. It is a creative, open-plan work space that inspires connection and teamwork, and brings the client's passion for food alive.

RCL Foods interior is the best in the world EPL Novospace attended the International Property Awards in Dubai last year where they won the award for Best Office Interior for South Africa in the Africa & Asia property awards for the RCL Food head office project. With this award they were entered as a finalist into the International Property Awards held at the Savoy Hotel in London in December 2017, where the project won the award for the Best Office Interior in Africa, and later that evening, for the Best International Office Interior, beat- ing competition from around the world in the process.
