A workplace is the fountainhead of creativity, where ideas translate into tangible projects. This is why at Colab Company, they believe that workplaces should inspire and fuel the people that work in them, providing distinct spaces for all kinds of tasks, and not one replicated design for everyone and everything.
A cutting-edge workplace
This thought has been at the core of our design strategy for their new-age office space for Digient Technologies in Chennai where we designed 35,000 sqft of office space spread across five floors and a terrace with a fusion of contemporary and eclectic styles.
Catch subtle curves: Ground floor
The first step inside the building introduces one to the coastal-inspired ambience of the ground floor with muted tints and shades of brown.
A bold and elegant 3D artwork made with real shells, corals and sand, complements the curvilinear furniture, transporting one to a fun littoral destination.
The locker room, with lockers painted in hues of red and yellow add a vibrant stroke, seeking inspiration from the magnificent colours of the sunrise and sunset.
Witness contemporary cues: First floor
As the design group ascend to floor one, they experience an unparalleled workspace vibe through interesting nooks and corners, created for brainstorming, focused working and creative sessions in a maximalist yet contemporary style.
Adorned with vibrant green plants, curvilinear, thoughtfully-crafted furniture and walls done through masterful colour blocking, this modern floor is perfect to get one in the highly-productive zone of working with an distracting focus.
Wander via green park: The second floor
The next floor, floor two, stands out for bold jardin-style design patterns with a splash of symmetry done up in an earthy palette.
With benches and lamp posts that stimulate ideas along with giving you the feeling of being in a park inside a stunning glasshouse, the floor’s spaces are perfect to boost productivity, swiftly walking away from the mundane.
A Japanese nostalgia: Third floor
Floor three is a subtle nod to flowy simplicity.
The jute-knitted chairs, the tall bamboo plants with ivory, gray and violet seating options are effortlessly crafted in the style of refined materiality, verticality and repetition.
A faint reminder of Japan and a floor that exudes Zen, the spaces are a sight for sore eyes and ergonomic to sit and work on for long hours.
A thoughtful use of ceiling and floor lamps, on a floor flooded with natural light, illuminates it even further into a bright space, ideal for multiple ‘Eureka’ moments.
Encounter fearless curves: Top floor
As we climb to the top floor, we see that it is a metaphor for futuristic design.
The modern composition is to give an impetus to a no-nonsense attitude towards work and to creation of bright ideas that shape the times to come.
Skillfully done in monotone, the floor-to-ceiling windows and the bold curves create a style that is sui generis.
A Soho-terrace affair
For a breath of fresh air, after a long meeting, the terrace opens up to the sky and exudes a Soho garden vibe.
It also has canopies to laze under at any given time of the day.
From the creators: The Colab Company
This creation by the Colab Company is where you don’t just enjoy working but also fall in love with your craft again. The motivating quotes in different areas of the space are the final cherry on the top – changing the definition of office spaces in India.
