		<description><![CDATA[Winner of the Sculpture Category, Mlonishwa Chiliza’s winning piece reflects on his experience of living in a hostel. Mlonishwa Chiliza came from a working class background and a hostel provided him with a home. The intention to depict an underprivileged kitchen is a reflection of his experience. The kitchen is often the most important place in a hostel, where the residents would gather to chat about social and political issues. This also created a sense of unitywithin the building. Portraying a two-plate stove with an empty kettle intended to grab the viewer’s attention in getting a feeling of a township life. The medium of cement is hard and strong, which acts as a metaphor for Mlonishwa Chiliza’s life &#8211; enduring the hardships of poverty, hunger and hopelessness. These objects are handmade mainly to portray the interior of an informal environment, and the use of cement alludes to the strong sense of permanence. Chiliza thoroughly enjoyed the medium, seeing it as a constructive device to record and share his ideas. Lastly, the floor replicates “uMlabalaba”, a game, played in most hostels. The structure of a sleeping chair reveals the insufficiency of space that can be experienced in a hostel.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Inhouse Brand Architects design team, led by Inhouse Director, Phillip Wyatt, was tasked with Project Real, a plan to redesign the national head office for Regent Insurance in Edenvale. This project followed on from a previous collaboration in 2014 in which Inhouse successfully completed a flagship fit-out for the company in Umhlanga. This involved a major rebranding exercise, the development of an upgraded corporate identity and the subsequent translation of this into a built environment. Having proved a major success, Regent was ready to extend the redesign and once again integrate their new branding into a built environment. Inhouse are specialists in this field and were brought on board to implement this change. Regent Insurance’s GM of Marketing &#38; Corporate Affairs, Michelle Ashen-Abrahams explains, “Our mission was to provide innovative, interactive and inviting open-plan corporate offices for our staff, customers and key stakeholders. With a new corporate identity in place we wanted to bring the brand to life and looked at Inhouse to develop our 3D corporate identity. Inhouse is experienced in taking a 2D corporate identity and translating that into a 3D experience which is what we needed at Regent to complete the newly launched brand.&#8221; Prior to the redesign, the Regent head office was spread across six separate buildings with Regent [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[BOS is a proudly South African ice tea company known for its striking branding, brightly coloured packaging and iconic Afro identity. “Not just an ice tea”, BOS likes to engage, have fun, give joyful experiences and share a sense of life and living. After working together on the BOS Expo stand in 2012, BOS commissioned Haldane Martin to design the interior for its new office extension. The BOS offices are located in Fairweather House in the centre of Woodstock’s creative business hub, an old industrial building converted into office space that houses art galleries, a publisher and small local businesses. BOS wanted to create a bright, colourful and casual work environment that would add a splash of colour and flavour to the office block. BOS’s office extension includes a new reception area, an ice tea bar, a hot desk for sales and marketing, and meeting spaces. Throughout the space, design elements speak to the primary colour scheme of the BOS brand, while the repetition of circular elements reinforce the shape of the company logo. The reception incorporates the BOS  Expo stand designed by Haldane Martin, which includes a prime place for the the award-winning BOS Vending Robot that urges consumers to &#8220;tweet for tea&#8221;.
