Bangalore , India .
The aim was to design a space that reflects the core values of the company . The design focuses on the use of colors and materials in a contextual and meaningful way , exclusive furniture pieces were curated to add character . The idea of transparency is achieved through the use of glass to accommodate a visual connectivity between the reception and GM cabins - a company value that people capable of taking action are always accessible to the customers .
The design aims to achieve a certain character to every space so as to relate to its user in a meaningful way . With high ceilings for expansiveness , a glass wall designed to allow inflow of natural light and amplify the innate volume of the office and design elements that add a dimension of texture and color- the space is meant to inspire creativity and enhance efficiency .

WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE DESIGN ELEMENT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS PROJECT ?
MILANA : The reception ceiling witnesses an innovative ceiling treatment in the form of multiple inverted boxes with triangular facets in varied permutations of sizes and proportions which is inspired by the concept of varied building heights . The articulated architectural concrete faceted panel wall acts as a backdrop to the reception table and compliments the ceiling installation as well as a metal screen behind the visitors seating .
The large expansive green wall at the North of the office forms a backdrop to workstation , discussion zone and conference room . This green element creates a sense of openness and invites daylight . The result is a space that features an element that is meant to relax and calm the user by maintaining a connect to greenery in a CBD context with tight setbacks and tall buildings .
