The client: A leading global data and information management company.

Information is power.

And the office environment goes a long way in conveying a sense of authority and industry-leading superiority.

The client had taken up space in a new building in Chennai to accommodate its growing workforce. Unispace was appointed to deliver an appropriate interior design solution.

Design framework: Create a magnet for young professionals

The client’s brief to Unispace was this – create an office environment that acts as a magnet to attract its core target audience comprising young, well-qualified professionals.

The new office had to facilitate the client’s business functions, promote agility, convey technological progress, foster collaboration, and above all, drive high productivity.  

The new office had to facilitate collective productivity and allow focused spaces for technically complex tasks that require undisturbed attention.

Execution: Arriving at the design essence

The arrival lounge is always the first interaction point in any social or professional set-up. This sets the stage for the promised design experience in the location. Unispace’s design team ensured that the welcome was soft, innovative, and energetic - all at the same time.  

The arrival lounge was followed by a hybrid combination of neighbourhood team clusters. This allowed teams to effortlessly connect as per requirement. 

The office design follows an open format. It accommodates teams of varied sizes, and a high emphasis is placed on amenities.

The new office includes small and large formal/informal meeting rooms, pantry spaces, a cafeteria, a gaming area, and a yoga zone to help employees work and unwind as they wished.

Employee health and well-being were factored in every aspect of the design.

Flooring: Shaw Contract’s Vertical Layers and Living Systems collections

Unispace’s team chose the Vertical Layers and Living Systems collections from Shaw Contract for their precise alignment with the intended tone and character of the new office.

The floor tiles combined the aesthetic experience of nature’s elements while ensuring comfort and elegance within the office.
