case study - assembly COLLECTION

Colourful and joyful ambience at an MNC's new office in Hyderabad.

Prashant Shah, Managing Partner of Morphosis, was familiar with the design standards of MNC firms. Morphosis, based in Hyderabad, India, is specialised in architecture, office interiors and retail design. Morphosis has rolled out branded environments for several clients in the retail, entertainment, leisure and commercial spaces.

When the brief for this client’s new requirement came up, Mr. Shah was well-prepared for their expectations and strict brand standards. However, he was keen to impart his own stamp on the project. The confidence came from his awareness and understanding of Hyderabad’s design sensibilities.

The Assembly Collection


Design insight: An open office concept to attract open minds


The project comprised 3700 Sq. Mt. of carpet area (of the total 22,560 Sq. Mt. built-up area) on the seventh floor of a building in Hyderabad’s premier business district. The design team recommended an open office architecture that minimised walls and maximized natural gifts like sunlight and fresh air.

The design idea was to divide the entire area into utility specific zones, while conveying the character of each through distinct elements. It was important for every element to sync with the overall interior design language of the workspace in an appealing and aesthetic manner.

Design action: A kaleidoscope of floor tiles from Shaw Contract

The design team chose Shaw Contract’s Assembly collection of carpet tiles. The team narrowed down to five styles within the collection including Support 5T267 (workspaces), Surface 0515V (training room), Pigment 0365V (collaboration areas), Convene 5T269 (conference room), and Establish 5T268 (waiting areas).

The team’s design mastery was reflected in managing the transition of floor materials from marble to vitrified tiles to carpet tiles. The colours and textures were chosen to aesthetically align with the adjacent surroundings, from brick and stucco walls to the film inspired cafeteria graffiti.
