This law firm sits at the heart of the business district in Nariman point, Mumbai; in the iconic Jolly Maker Chamber II. This law office sits at a walking distance from the Mumbai high court. Our brief from the client, Adv. Rakesh Singh was simple : “To make the best possible office space” and we ran with it.
Our approach for this workspace was one of necessity and eco-consciousness. The use of cane, wood, and integration of greens in the design gives the office a warm and inviting feel while also being environmentally friendly. The space also provides a natural aesthetic that promotes a sense of calm and serenity.
We designed multipurpose spaces that can be used for different functions at different times. For example, the main boss's cabin & conference room are separated with an internal sliding folding wooden partition, this creates possibilities for different uses- either as one large space or as two individual spaces. The library section is tactfully placed near the pantry. This allows the table to function as a place to discuss and read or a place to eat.
The office consists of 9 workstations, 2 executive workstations, a main cabin & conference (7 people) that is divided with a foldable partition, a reception & waiting and two washrooms. Being a lawyer’s office, once of the main requirements was ample storage. Our solution was to make all the opaque partitions into storage partitions, additionally, we converted an entire wall into a storage unit and designed the workstations to complement that.
Overall, this law firm's design breaks away from the monotonous office spaces, and emphasises on sustainability & earthy aesthetics which reflects the values and commitment of the firm to making a positive impact on the environment and creating a space that promotes productivity, collaboration and well-being for its employees.
