Person Inmobiliaria contacted us with a clear premise: to design a space that was nothing like typical real estate offices. In addition, they proposed a layout with a high density of simultaneous workers on the ground floor and meeting rooms on the upper floor. Sebastian Erras Sebastian Erras Due to the nature of their work, real estate agents are not always at their desks in this office, but rather visiting properties. This allowed us to think outside the box when designing custom work tables that adapt to the layout of the space and maximize its capacity. These desks therefore fulfill not only a functional role but also a decorative one, giving the space its own identity with their sharp angles and irregular legs.  Seba... More

The design scope of this project encompasses the 5th and 6th floors, as well as the roof, of a six-story office building located in Qingpu, Shanghai. The main design goal is to create spatial interaction between the two floors and the roof, which currently lack a vertical connection. Our approach involves removing a section of the 6th floor slab and a portion of the adjacent roof to create a double-height hall and a courtyard on the 6th floor. This modification establishes a vertical link between the 5th floor, 6th floor, and the roof, which is intended to be a garden. The courtyard on the 6th floor offers views that can be enjoyed from the hall on the 5th floor, as well as from the corridor and meeting room on the 6th floor. Atelier LI... More

Being in the jewellery industry, the client wanted a safe and secure office with practicality and functionality as the top priority. The desired look was a semi-industrial feel created by the exposed ceilings, AC ducting and open wiring. Since the space had a good ceiling height, Shibani Mehta decided not to box up the space and keep all the lighting, AC ducting and ceiling pipes exposed. To continue a seamless flow of the ceiling design vibe, Bison panels were used for the partitions with bolts and angles and exposed brick walls to compliment the rustic and raw feel.  Nisheet Dodhia Nisheet Dodhia Nisheet Dodhia Nisheet Dodhia Nisheet Dodhia The furniture with easy-to-clean materials like veneer and Formica,...
