Design journey
Initially, when the group started designing the space with a main aim of not only connecting with each other but also get lots of natural light inside. This generally becomes very difficult specially in an industrial area like Okhla, New Delhi, which is bustling with sound from all around.
Upon the entrance
The entrance lobby of the office was designed in such a way that it directly leads to the staff and boss’s cabin which will be then interconnected by the conference room in the centre. With walls painted in a basic neutral throughout, the space has concrete textured flooring running which perfectly add a hint of warmth into the spaces.
Cabin hues
Talking about the Owner’s Cabin The interior palette is punched up and accented with blue color that plays against neutrals. The blue wall with panelling is actually a concealed door between the cabin and the conference room which makes the boss’s cabin not only extendable but also multifunctional.
The architect wanted that the Furniture pieces should make a bold statement but at the same time be simple and uncluttered, without decoration. Smooth, clean, geometric shapes were essential for the vision we had. Use of a basic background and shout out with our favourite black, white & tan colour on furniture pieces overlooking the green balcony makes the corner picture perfect.
Rhythmic transformation
The same harmonious balance transforms into the interconnected conference room. The colour pallet of our interior scheme are nature inspired -white walls, grey flooring the pale blue fabric chairs paired with the live edge table which makes the space stand out.
The ‘bachelor pad’
The outdoor green deck on the other side of the entrance lobby is like a perfect outdoor party space for this kind of bachelor pad, which will also act like a refuge to breathe out the daily stress of a daily office routine. One can plunge into the nature amist all the hustle and bustle of the life.
Overall, “less is more” aptly sums up this beautifully curated office.
