The objective behind the client's brief was to provide a workspace for 50 unknown clients and design an environment where they could seamlessly share a part of a larger whole --‘An Office Within An Office.’ 

Vibrant colours and artwork on the columns infused a happy feel to the movement zones. Happy columns lit with large panel lights in the ceiling would celebrate an environment that was energetic and forward.

The space planning for the shared office was a challenge. The design was steered to how best a large structural shell in an upmarket location could transform itself into a happy and absorbing workspace.

Like all structures, the design had to accommodate large rhythmic columns that would not lend themselves to a sub interior space. A deliberate effort was made to work around these columns, make them a focal element and design the movement around them. 

Taking from the idea of a street with crossings, the columns and the space around them were treated like nodes that connected to corridors. An ideal concept that would keep the workspaces ‘column-free’ and avoid long unending corridors.

Starting from the entrance, leading to the mailboxes and the cafe, the streets and crossings connected the common zones of the office. With each space, starkly different in style from the other, there was an intentional effort to maintain an element of surprise. 

The interiors of the offices have been styled around a more universal, urban, and neutral look and feel so as to provide a broad platform of choice in assigning spaces for the users.
