Creatively crafting a very small 250 sq ft. office space into an inspiring & lively work environment was as challenging as transforming a caterpillar into a stunning butterfly by a human hand.The available space was an unattractive retail shop and was to be transformed into a workplace for Chartered Accountants. Redesigning yet retaining a few existing built was an arduous and challenging task in addition to the time constraint of 60 days. The challenge was readily accepted and met with a unique artistic outlook. Extracting two office cubicles, waiting area, and a toilet out of a limited space required brainstorming planning and a systematic approach to initiate the project, fulfilling the client’s satisfaction.

The vision was reorientation of the small space, making alternations yet restoring a few niches giving a look beyond imagination through a creative approach. The entire canvas of the site has neutral shades of grey, teak wood finish furniture with an intentional play of fluted glass & grooves. The wall art installation from waste pieces of wood at site speaks volume about minimal material wastage. The play of materials & color palette and the intrinsically designed office cubicles are a delightful treat to behold.
The feature wall in aquamarine hue in contrast to zebra black and white floor & a camouflaged door engraved with brass strips has broken the convention of a small casual entrance lobby to be transformed into a vibrant waiting area that elevates mood. The astounding play of materials in the partition between two office cubicles with the use of M.S perforated patterned Jali and cane sandwiched in glass exhibit a dramatic play of light and shadow. The genesis of this exotic design project express two words ‘Magnum Opus’.
