The driving vision behind the design style of this project was to optimize every inch of available space while maintaining a sense of functional fluidity. The approach marries practicality with elegance, ensuring that each element serves a purpose without compromising the aesthetic balance of the design.
The Design Style Of This Fluid Building Serves An Aesthetic Balance Of Design | Design Metrics Studio
Upon entering the office, you’re greeted by a compact yet inviting waiting area, seamlessly carved into the nook of a wall we strategically removed to open up the space.
Adjacent to this, the design style of the workstation zone flows naturally, offering a dynamic and efficient space for employees. This layout creates a direct pathway to the main executive cabin, ensuring a cohesive spatial journey.
For practicality and discretion, we integrated a small pantry and toilet area, hidden behind a sleek, panelled door that blends effortlessly with the overall design. The result is a harmonious balance of functionality and aesthetics, making the space both purposeful and polished.
Craftsmen use high-quality ply to make all furniture, laminate the interiors for durability, and finish the exteriors with a sleek PU coating for a polished look. To add depth and texture, we incorporated louvered panelling in key areas such as the reception and workstation desks.
Asian Paints’ sophisticated Velour Classique texture features on the walls, adding subtle elegance to the space. Designers upholstered the sofas in premium leatherette, chosen for its fine texture, anti-scratch properties, and resilience, combining style with practicality for a refined yet functional finish.
The hallmark of this project lies in the meticulous selection of luxurious materials, paired with a minimalist design philosophy.
This combination creates an opulent yet understated environment, delivering an elevated and immersive experience for the end user.
