  • This Design Of Office Is A Modernist Tribute | Forum Advaita

    This design of office was to create a 12 seater workstation with a conference room, meeting room and a pantry for an IT company based in Mohali. The client wished to celebrate the aesthetics of Le Corbusier to reflect the city we are working in.

    Design Concept

    We chose to imagine a story of the time when Le Corbusier imagined the city of Chandigarh and the world that he might be dreaming of.

    design of office

    So, taking the plunge into Corbusier’s mind, we take the observer through his mind and dreams of making Chandigarh.  A dream has a fantasy in parallel to the memories, and thus allows certain inaccuracies as a part of the dream.

    The idea was to imagine a space showing scattered images of elements that Corbusier could think of while dreaming of the making of Chandigarh.

    The unrealism of a dream has thus been attempted to be created. In this office, we imagined a phase in Corbusier’s life when he would be imagining the making of Chandigarh.

    Design Elements

    The dreams are often scattered images of elements that one is trying to put together, unfulfilled compositions, etc. Here we borrowed the element of Pilotis with voids having soft edges.

    design of office

    This element was used and multiplied into many planes, giving meaning to the context, but eventually creating a dream-like situation where the planes are all over the space.

    Partition Wall

    These elements form the wall compositions, partitions, and the lighting design elements. The partitions are created untouched from the ceiling to retain the emphasis of scattered elements of a dream.

    Hues & Tones

    The arrival plane on the wall becomes one of the focal elements with a dark grey wall color that merges with the ceiling.

    The opposite wall has a wall paneling that is partially inside and partially outside the glass cabin, creating a tension in the mind as if moving and not arrived, sustaining the conflicts of a dream.

    Another plane partially covers the pantry and half of the middle cabin again follows the similar conceptual approach.

    A small vertical partition with a void stands perpendicular to the wall that helps create a notional foyer for a waiting area.

    Lighting

    The lighting design elements are 3 horizontal planes. Inspired by the 3 vertical planes of the high court building, but positioned horizontally.
