Getting the design chemistry just right
One of the world’s leading chemical conglomerates chose to shift its office in Mumbai to a newer and bigger location to accommodate its 250+ employees.
The client’s intent to shift to a LEED Gold-certified building was to underline its commitment to sustainability and offer a hybrid work environment that resonated with creativity, professionalism and innovation.
Team One Architects – the firm that was signed up to design the 40,000 sq. ft. office – took it as an opportunity to elevate the project to new heights. The design firm partnered with Matrix Architectural Solutions for a holistic flooring solution that integrated technology, innovation and creativity.
Execution: A vibrant, tech-driven platform for peak output
The design framework, instead of a traditional working model, envisioned the new office as a vibrant, tech-driven platform for individual function, interaction and collaboration, as situations necessitate. The plan took shape through the following principles:
Space utilization: Individual and collaborative workspaces and social zones.
Space agility: Workspaces that can facilitate a congenial and cooperative environment for people of different profiles.
Audio-visual landscape: The work environment allows for audio and visual privacy or collaboration through the use of technology aids and noise damping materials. At the same time, spatial continuity and integrity are maintained.
Biophilia: The plan allows for natural elements like maximum sunlight, open views, fresh air, and optimal thermal conditions.
Conclusion: Celebrating professional excellence with Green credentials
The new office is an apt example of a well-designed hybrid workspace that enables peak functionality, sustainability practices, and creative vibes.
The new office also signals the client’s green credentials while celebrating professional excellence.
