The inspiration for this office came from several elements – nature, reaction of materials with each other and some amounts of surrealism. With special attention to details and full of surprises, this office is unconventional in design. Fadd Studio not only used materials in a unique method, but also used unexpected elements in place of common ones.
The floor is grey cement but stands out because of stained pigments. It was inspired by the way an oil slick form when oil meets water. The conference room and workstation areas overlook the greenery of the school. The furniture is all white and the chairs grey.
The conference room table base is created out of reused planks that are staggered to create a play of levels and planes. One of the most arresting and unexpected features of the office is the reindeer robe hook, which is used as the door handle to each office, entrance door and conference door. The reception is equally surreal with an image of a flying elephant wearing an Englishman’s hat.
