Government Services Office, DIFC

Opaal Interiors as Architects

A new office was required after three government service departments – registry, properties and immigration – were merged and brought under the DIFC Services banner.Opaal Interiors was put to work creating a timeless, fresh and modern workplace, with user-friendly design at the core of the concept.

The former conference area was demolished and redesigned, with earthy colors, cool furniture and greenery used to create a calming effect for the people using DIFC's government services.  This can be seen in moss-dressed walls, which Opaal Interiors brought in to improve air quality and the aesthetic appeal of the DIFC GSO.
