Located in Manjusar GIDC in Vadodara, the interior design for office was a space that was once a bare-shell structure of brick and concrete of 2600 sq.ft., was designed into an office space with the ground floor functioning as a space for employees and the first floor to be occupied by three directors of the company. The beam-column structure had ample window openings in all three directions. And, the fourth side shared a common wall between the office area and work shed with a centrally placed staircase connecting the two floors. The planning included an individual space for all three directors, an informal meeting space, a display area, a conference room, a resting room, a pantry area, and washrooms. The team completed the project in just three months.
Editor’s Note: “Space Tattva Design Studio has transformed a 2600 sq.ft. space in Vadodara, to a functional office. This design features customized workstations, an informal meeting space, and an open ceiling concept that balances modern aesthetics with openness. Intelligent partitioning, ergonomic furnishings, and organic seating offer a dynamic and contemporary work environment.” ~ Anusha Sridhar
Interior Design For Office Transforms Bare Shell into a Functional Workspace | Space Tattva Design Studio
The design divides the space into three parts: individual office cabins, an informal meeting area in the center, and utility areas such as washrooms, a pantry, a storage room, and a resting room. The idea was to create a space that is functional and contemporary in feel while keeping the openness of the space intact. Instead of having a regular 2x2ft gypsum ceiling like any other corporate office, we have combined the idea of a solid ceiling with an open ceiling by using solid fluted wood panels. And a hanging grid of grey tones from the ceiling merges with the concrete grey tone of the exposed ceiling.
Playing with the ceiling allowed us to keep the space’s ambiance modern without cluttering it with too much furniture and hindering the natural light coming in through the windows. The partitions between the two cabins are designed to reduce the solid panel area by incorporating an aluminum glass frame on top, balancing mass with transparency.
Each cabin has a custom-made desk reflecting the individual identity of each director. Which in turn creates a sense of belonging to the space.
The first desk features a custom-crafted Bent Metal Table with a seamless stone top and an angular metal base, serving as a striking focal point in the space. Therefore, serving as a focal point that enhances the space’s clean lines. Also, the yellow tint of the stone adds a vibrant pop to the design.
Also, the second desk is a custom-made desk that combines wood and metal, tailored for seamless operations and ergonomic comfort. Moreover, the angular turn of the desk creates an enclosure while eliminating the sharp corners of a regular office desk.
The Sleek Slope Table is a sleek faux marble finished top cantilevered on an angled wooden base that takes center stage in white-washed walls and wood texture panels.
The passage connecting the three cabins with an informal meeting area and display area encapsulates two organically designed sofas surrounded by greens.
The design of the two sofas resulted from a need to occupy the unused dead corners of the passage. Moreover, on one side of the staircase, is the informal meeting area while on the other is the display area cum foyer.
The informal meeting area is treated through a custom-made wooden light installation suspended from the ceiling which adds depth and character to the space. Hereby, the wooden installation is complemented by curvilinear sofas in muted tones of grey and blue. And, a low coffee table with clean lines.
Furthermore, the informal space sits between the director’s cabin and conference room which creates a buffer zone for transit. The conference room table stands out in the white-walled space through the use of a wooden top and metal legs along with hanging lights from the ceiling. Furthermore, the conference room accommodates the electrical and IT panel behind the perforated shutters between the wall and the column in the room.
The open shelves made out of wood and metal create a curtain wall of artifacts right in front of the window. While allowing partial sunlight in through the see-through blinds. Furthermore, our intent in designing the space was to remain true to the materiality and structure of the space. Through its forms and tactile experiences.
