While entering from the lobby, a large cement finished sliding door with a well-ordered signage opens into the reception with waiting area.

Parametric forms sit in harmonious interactions with the minimalistic designed objects producing a space that is both still and in motion at the same time. Instability with stability producing complexity is articulated as a space of human appearance.

The clear height was of the main concerns as the lower floor was as low as 8’3” while the upper floor was 9'3". The workspace has been opened up and interventions have been made in such a manner that the space doesn't feel claustrophobic at any point.

The connection between the two floors is established through a white MS spiral staircase cladded with rubber wood within the cut-out in the upper floor slab with a skylight above it.

This became the primary space of design, a living green courtyard housing a Ficus tree and all the other spaces overlooking and opening into it. Hues of grey, white and birch are carefully used throughout the design making the space seem clean and simple.

Flooring is one of the main design objects (lines) in the space; differentiation of working zone and circulation is made by light and darker shades of grey tiles creating curved patterns on the floor “islands”, and is reflected to the lighting profile at the ceiling while the suspended metal members above it takes this profile to offset and ripple through the space tying it together in a wholesome composition.

The design elements are put in tension with each other to activate the space to a discourse / dialogue in relationship to context and materiality.

The fantastically bright yellow colored walls of the double height courtyard space bounces and bleeds golden light into the space during day time along with 631 feet long flowing lines of light fixtures. The inclusion of living green spaces (tree court and planters) within the space adds a layer of poise to the composition.

The CEO cabin on the other hand is designed around the work table as a center piece on the floor island with simple birch, dark grey composition with a glossy ceiling finished in lacquer paint to reflect its surroundings.

The 9’ by 4'6" table is constructed as a design exercise by taking a planar surface geometry and undulating it to find the simplest structurally stable, free-standing doubly curved geometry and built using layering of strips of birch ply. This then is overlayed with a white Corian surface top chamfered at the edges.
