R&L Architects Choose LIXIL Tapware for New Collaborative Office Space

Renowned design practice R&L Architects has moved into their new, purpose-built offices at Black River Park in Observatory, showcasing their commitment to collaboration, innovation, and excellence. The new space reflects R&L’s ethos of creating environments that inspire connection and creativity, and it features tapware from long-standing partner LIXIL, including GROHE’s cutting-edge touch-free taps.

R&L Architects are known for their work on high-profile projects across South Africa and beyond, including Woolworths outlets and the Nelspruit Stadium. For decades, they have specified GROHE products for their clients, building trust in the brand’s quality and reliability. When it came to fitting out their own space, the decision to use LIXIL tapware was a natural one.

Hygiene and Innovation at the Forefront

In the new office bathrooms, GROHE touchfree taps were installed to meet modern demands for hygiene and water efficiency. “These taps combine style, convenience, and functionality; they’re perfect for high-use spaces,” said Geraldine Sew, Associate Director at R&L Architects, who has just celebrated 20 years with the company. “For two decades, I’ve specified GROHE to our clients because the products deliver quality and reliability every time. When it came to designing our own offices, it felt only right to use the same products we trust and recommend daily. GROHE touchfree technology brings hygiene and water savings to the forefront. It is exactly what modern office spaces need.”

Smooth Specification and Exceptional Support

The specification process was seamless, with LIXIL providing detailed consultation and advice to ensure every product was fit for purpose. “The aftersales service was outstanding,” Sew added. “When a plumber installed one tap incorrectly, LIXIL was on site the very next day to resolve it. That level of responsiveness builds trust and gives us confidence in the products and the team behind them.”

Building Trust Through Quality

With some of the longest warranties in the industry, GROHE and LIXIL products continue to build trust among architects, developers, and clients. For R&L, incorporating the same solutions they recommend to their clients strengthens their belief in delivering quality and reliability in every project.

GROHE Touchfree Taps: Perfect for Modern Workspaces

They also incorporate water-saving technology, ensuring sustainability without compromising performance. For offices like R&L Architects’ new space, touchfree taps offer convenience, durability, and sleek aesthetics that match a professional, collaborative environment.
