Editor’s note : Spare Design brings a workspace design that breaks the atypical environment of a construction office scenario. With thoughtful detailing from floor inlays, partitions, and table separators, to jute fabric incorporation between glass door, this office is far from its humdrum. ~ Aditi Shah (editor)
Triangular shaped brick blocks laid into the flooring -act like guides enabling the vision to travel from one end to another. The play of textured flooring is a delight to explore barefoot .
The layout allows for maximum sunlight to enter the space -artificial lighting is required only in the last hours of the day thereby reducing the overall energy load.
The natural stones and earthy materials help regulate the temperature and reduce the overall air conditioning load as well. Walls have been finished in lime based paint which is ecological and non toxic .
Divisions for spaces assume a dynamic appeal as partitions created in m.s, steel rods hold terracotta blocks which rotate and move. The moving partitions lend an interactive and ever changing character to the space. Jute sandwiched inside glass panels has been used to create translucency.
The artwork on the walls is in Devnagri / Hindi lettering – words such as Naksha(Map); Aakriti(Form) etc have been hand painted by a local artists.
To achieve the concrete finish on the tables, micro topping has been used on all the meeting and conference furniture, instead of casting concrete slabs. Steel -the main selling product of the company is used in partitions as well as a typical column reinforcement detail to break the monolith concrete finished reception table. Plants in customized fiber panels add colour and freshness to the décor.
A rich palette of natural stone, bricks , concrete, steel and jute come together to connect the space to the roots of its business with a modern altercation to suit the ever changing needs of the industry.
