When the CEO of Elance Learning Center, a multidisciplinary tuition center with over 5000 students across the coastal state of Kerala in India, approached the architects to design a headquarters rooted in their ideologies within a limited space of around 3000 sqft, the architects had to take a novel approach to the design while maintaining the core values of the given criteria.
Editor’s Note: “Bathed in stark white, with gentle splashes of blue, red, and yellow, this multidisciplinary learning center takes a unique approach to design. Exquisite attention to detail, with varied textures and figurines, celebrates the core values of the center. The parametric wave installations at thoughtful intervals elevate the space’s aura, creating an inspiring environment for exploration and growth.” ~Simran Khare

A white color palette dominates the general spaces, with tones of yellow, red, and blue selected for the design’s backsplash. Raised platforms at various locations indicate the higher hierarchy of the space. The raised waiting lounge in pastel blues and yellows highlights the entry point.
A statue of a figurine aiming to reach the heights represents the core value of the learning center. The conference area is located in the center space, serving as a hub for all formal and informal meetings.
As soon as you enter, the right side of the floor plan divides into four core groups, each representing specific departments. A “leafless, yet sprawling metal tree” hides the department workstations.
The rest of the space on the right houses other departments not involved in the educational aspect of the business. On the left side, there is a large CEO room with its own discussion lounge.
A couple of cabins for the core group of the company sit alongside the CEO’s cabin for easy access. The left side also includes studios and workstations directly connected to the CEO.
