Jossi Design has been working on a cricket box at Kingsmead in Durban. With one week of design work and one week installation we are very happy with the result.

The deadline for this project was extremely tight. The client contacted us 2 weeks before the first game for the IPL in Durban! It was decided to use as much of the eixting fittings as possible. The kitchen cupboards have all been resprayed and new handles installed. We designed a cupboard unit to house the Fridge and sprayed this to match the new cupboard doors. A new granite top was installed on the kitchen counter, and we decided to mosaic the kitchen wall using the one of the company colours as the dominant colour, and the accent of the green is also a company colour.

The existing bar was turned around so that some of those people frequenting the box could eat at the bar. We added in the higher glass counter top with stainless steel supports, the whole bar was resprayed (originally this was a wood veneer). We also installed a new walnut timber laminate floor over the existing tiles.


We repainted all the walls, but not before moving any plug points that were affecting the design, such as moving the TV point and allowing for the illuminated company signage on the wall. We added a floating shelf under the TV so that people can place their drinks here while wandering around the box.


Finally the low counter (originally a melamine counter) was removed and new granite installed to match the new kitchen counter top. New chairs were purchased for this area so people can sit here and eat and still watch the game without blocking the view of others within the suite.

We are very happy with the outcome and enjoyed working on this project, although quite stressful with such a tight deadline. For further information on our projects please go to our website www.jossi.co.za
