The majestic view of the lake stirred an idea within which I caught, it was the abstraction of floating walls. Floating walls that did not touch the floor and hovered above the ground in a floating suspension were angled through the space to define them. Slices of separations like these floating walls were created of different sizes, lengths, and individual distinct materials.
These slices of separation create spaces within them for the functional ongoing of the office. A foggy glass effect was created in the opposite plane, so the view through them looks much like you would see through clouds in an airplane. There is a sense of more, a hint, but the details are obscured, creating an illusion of ‘hazy nothingness.’ The office creates a surreal feeling of being invisible and yet vividly visible as you float through the ‘clouds’, discovering the views beyond.
Editor’s Note: “Transforming mundane into magical, the Cloud Office is a spatial conversation between form and feeling. Floating walls evoke secrets while materials whisper nature’s presence. Crafting a rebellion against the ordinary, this office suspends between reality and imagination, offering wonders as one moves, sees, and feels the space.” ~ Anusha Sridhar
The Floating Walls Create A Suspended Sense of Space and Elegance | Fulcrum Studio
My instinct about the reception was to create two rocks, two boulders, two pieces of absolute, intrinsic parts of nature. But alas! Oftentimes, we have to work with what the space can offer.
The impossibility of having two boulders there by sheer virtue of their weight prompted us to then humanize what that might feel like.
So, creating these angular pieces, clap them with something really beautiful. Abstract marble. And we do have what artistically is the rendition and interpretation of two rocks from Hampi.
There is an expansive quality of the three natural colors exemplified by floating walls and antique gray.
Lead and silver become elements that contain and yet connect the space in angularity that is surprising and interesting, intriguing even. The verticals create a soft sense of livability. Wherein books and artifacts can be kept on these very delicate verticals that create this moment of curiosity.
As one walks from one end to the other beautiful depth is on display. The entire canvas is laid out so that your eye moves right to the extremes and is still allowed to play with pauses.
The flooring is the perfect neutralized palette for the metallic sheen of the three floating walls. It is completely natural and unpolished, and it just feels as close to natural earth as you can get.
And that was the feel and texture that was required to create this sort of interesting sensory experience. Because Sensorially, it’s an introduction of a completely different material as opposed to every other one in that space.
A really tactile feel to the flooring, which makes you feel like you could even slip off your shoes and want to feel the rawness underfoot.
Which is such a contrasting experience to a normal office, which is when you know everyone’s in footwear and nobody really feels the need to be more primal and natural. And yet the flooring sensually awakens your senses and moreover, asks you to slip off your shoes.
In the CEO’s cabin, there is an interesting contrast in materials as well as finishes. Moreover, the desks feature a smooth, shiny surface juxtaposed with a metallic-finished paint.
Additionally, the Ganesha sculpture, crafted from beautiful sand and marble, adds a serene presence to the space. The furniture, restrained, present, but hushed and there, in a way that feels present, but not dominant.
A column existed bang in the center of the room. We create another quarter column that doesn’t find its way to the ground, and the Ganesha straddles both in a beautiful, angular, sculptural, and ephemeral quality. So the client has a Ganesha, but it’s not just a piece that is secondary to the room. Furthermore, it becomes the primal artwork.
