An office design can have a significant impact on the productivity of employee as well as owner. While designing the office there are several elements that we needed to consider. This includes the color scheme, lighting, furniture and layout. These elements can significantly impact the atmosphere and productivity of the office. The lighting further highlights the material palette that we choose for the design where in integral part of the furniture is finished in a combination of beige with grey laminate, wood on table top.
We divided the space into 3 parts – workstation, cabin and pantry that lead to toilet. Creating linear staff seating resulted in a lot on space for other things like staff area for 4, pantry for snacks, enough file storage. We chose glass partitions with solid partitions for the cabin as it would divide the whole space and had made the office look bigger while creating a sense of privacy between cabin and staff area.

The waiting area should be welcoming and comfortable seating, appropriate lighting and attractive painting. The liner seating for staff and upper storage above the workstation.

It has been placed in a way to get maximum daylight. It has been designed with great precision of details every detail of the furniture has been worked upon so as to form a coherent interior.

It adores the cabin, utilizing every inch yet allowing it to be look breathable. A very simplistic material palate, but it reflects the thought “Simple can be beautiful “.
Pantry lead to toilet. A well designed space filled with great snacks and refreshing beverages and extra file storage.
We had created and planned every material before our site started. We created details, drawings and 3d views for not just us and clients but also for the people working on it. Sometimes it’s very easy for a person who has designed it to understand, but for someone who actually makes it on site it’s very difficult, so the 3d views helped us in it.
