LOCATION: Bristol Hotel, Gurugram
AREA: 1500 sqft approx.
ARCHITECTS: Ishan Pal Singh & Samarth Trehan

THE BRIEF:
BGIF, a Non-Profit organization, works to better the lives of the people of Haryana through evidence-based policy research and high-impact social interventions.
The client’s brief was to design an office space as well as their brand identity that represents the highly optimistic attitude of the organization. They wanted an office that gave a sense of brightness and greenery giving the feeling of working outdoors, even though the location is a basement with no natural light and the workspace is meant for usually morbid feeling policy planning work.
CONCEPT NOTE:

The intent of the design was to create an environment which stimulates and encourages ideation and communication. With that in mind we brought forth the idea of a co-working space, but to keep it away from the general co-working coffee shop aesthetic. We gave functionality and economizing on space a priority in design.
