Cricket Box at Kingsmead, Durban

One of the reasons I chose a career in Interior Design was the fact that I knew each project would be different from the last. It is very exciting to be constantly involved in creating new things and coming up with new designs.

Each project is unique and this is evident in the interior design of a cricket box that Jossi Design renovated for the IPL. The deadline seemed impossible at first... 2 weeks to come up with an overall design and create the completed box in time for the first IPL game in Durban.

The design time was minimal and our contractors got to work on site immediately.

Everything is designed around how the client uses the space, the TV position was moved to the opposite wall and a floating shelf below provides a surface for drinks to be placed while socialising with the other guests.

The existing bar counter was turned around, resprayed (as this was a wood veneer) and granite and glass counters added, and this application was used to address the existing kitchen.

The corporate colours are evident in the mosaics used on the kitchen wall and the signage, the artwork is limited to information about the products the company creates.

The tiled floor was swopped for a walnut timber laminate which creates a more intimate and comfortable feel.
