trend to maximise productivity. We cover how designers from across the country are
exemplifying this idea through their innovative office ideas. The SanDisk Office is yet
another delightful slice of the modern office model.
This special issue promises to take you on an official tour on how modern offices

Made in Earth created this cheerful foster home for HIV-positive children in
Tamil Nadu, using sustainable techniques and community involvement.
Text By Chryselle D’Silva Dias
Entirely made of recycled products, it is planned in an open office format where interactions are encouraged and ideations are greatly emphasized
upon. With every step into the space one sees philosophies being manifested.
Bathed in soothing ivories, pines and yellows, the office defies the feeling of a formal workspace. Its youthful energy charges across as simply
contagious. Sliding doors that double up as partitions, pose as an idiom pertaining to the open floor plan concept. The doors in chunks of pine
bolted to metal frames with gaps in between, restate a feeling of openness.
White bookshelves against bright yellows and greens are sure to hold your gaze as a glass partition next to them mirrors the wooden doors. The
table top in yellow and white not only holds your attention but also makes sure that even after a long day, the most tired of employees wouldn’t
mind taking a seat to catch up on some research.
Shipping crates identify themselves as open libraries and the back wall translates into a pin board. Bookshelves are stacked inside a unit to a side wall
that lies adjacent to another statement wall. White bricks and POP art merge well into each other, redefining the charm of white texture over texture.
Paintings fixed on shipping crates respell the quirky element along with the lights that are conversions of old grampophone speakers.
The sunflower stencil cut wall in the reception does its bit beautifully in introducing you to M:OFA and definitely uplifts the mood through its bright
colour. Punctuated by spurts of vibrant hues, this trendy office forces you to sit around a while longer.
A HARMONIOUS
JUXTAPOSITION
OF CREATIVITY
‘Manifestation of Fluid Architecture’, condensed to M:OFA
gives this Delhi design studio the most talked about identity.
It depicts designing as an attitude. The main theme running
across its varied projects is ‘sustainable responsible
collaboration. The following open, free flowing office spaces
are those of high energy where passionate individuals get
together and collaborate responsibly to create a product
of their own expertise. The subtle yet stark use of recycled
materials creates a sub-context of environmental sensitivity.

The design of this Indian Premier Cricket League team’s office design infuses the same energy and dynamism witnessed on the pitch. Keeping
teamwork and individuality in mind, the office is made along a semi-formal open plan with multiple overlaps between working and meeting areas.
Your conception of this space would have you pendulating between the nuances of the informal and the crispness of the formal in a playful yet
distinctive manner.
Apart from a formal conference room, an informal discussion room called ‘the think tank lounge’ has been designed as a swirl of energy. The NURBS
(Non Uniform Rational B – Splines) Model was further constructed economically using a slender steel cage that was covered by modules of 4 inches
by 3 feet wooden planks derived from recycled shipping pallets, a size that is approximately synonymous to that of a cricket bat. It has become the
back-bone of the design with individuals and the team strategizing together across hierarchy.
The red acrylic divider panels between workstations are a good blend of whimsy and play. The same desks with clear glass partitions find place in
the executive cabins. The entire look and feel of the office has been kept sporty with the controlled use of corporate reds, ambers and greys. It is a
perfect union of work and play by M:OFA in which the interiors only motivate and uplift leaving no room for the dull.
Delhi
Daredevils’ Office
92 Home Review November 2015

It is not a simple task to design an office for a media house that is usually buzzing with creative ideas and stories. Hence, M:OFA Studio took up
the task to explore the unusual concept of ‘un-designing’ in order to design the office. The term ‘un-designing’ translates into creating a space that
leaves incomplete clues for the inhabitants of the office to interpret.
The great height available at site made M:OFA opt for an open plan. The height also helped them create an installation of hanging lights above
the workspace and a mezzanine floor for the accounting team, that posed as a reminisce of the media houses belonging to the bygone era. The
editorial and ideation rooms were located below to give the agency a strong foundation for the millions of ideas that germinate and get published
every month.
The design language is kept simple with industrial overtones through the use of exposed steel structures, service ducts and conduits. The overall
neutral scheme is broken at the workstations by way of synchronised colour over the upholstery. The large green light reflectors have been used as
metaphors depicting idea bulbs hanging over one’s head. The palette is monochromatic with the corporate colours being the highlight. The space
leaves a blank canvas for creativity versus bold tones that probe the user’s mind, constantly stimulating it.

Anchored in Moscow’s Sharikopodshipnikovskaya Street, on
Lyublinskaya Line of Moscow Metro, The Dominion is amongst the
first new superstructures constructed for the burgeoning IT sector in
the capital’s south east. The building explores futuristic design as it
comes under the spotlight of international recognition. Zaha Hadid’s
Dominion is another of her signature works that stands at the edge of
architectural uniqueness.
Hadid’s design philosophy draws inspiration from the avant-garde style
of the 1920s. The Dominion Tower is a critique of mass architecture,
where each floor is the same. Hadid has tried to break the conventional
trend by putting more diversity into the building’s exterior. The
selected shape tends to hold a dialogue with the environment.
It doesn’t have a smooth façade, transforming the building into a box.
Instead it is a set of vertically stacked plates, linked through curved
elements along with a central atrium that captures natural light and
disperses it through the building.”It is not a single object, but several
objects,” says Hadid.
The black and white interior is dramatically different to the building’s
exterior. The simple yet bold staircase makes a statement. “The aim
was to create a feeling of flight, with spatial integration stemming
from criss-crossed flights of stairs, lit by the atrium above. As human
beings we need to reach a level of simplicity; simplicity is actually a
product of complexity and not the other way around,” explains Hadid.
The aim was to create a
feeling of flight, with spatial
integration stemming from
criss-crossed flights of stairs,
lit by the atrium above.
A BUILDING OF
THE FUTURE
With mostly all her structures emerging into
design icons, celebrated architect Zaha Hadid has
been redefining the global architectural map. The
Dominion Building epitomises this once again.

Home Review October 2015 95Home Review October 2015 95Home Review October 2015 95
Office units are arranged as rectilinear bays offering mixed possibilities
to businesses of varying sizes. On the peripherals of the atrium,
housing the lifts, fire escapes, washrooms and service shafts, the
service cores extended intervals of privacy to separate offices. The
service core ring encompassing the atrium and a bay of columns
approaching the boundaries of the building, form the structure.
The off-set-floor-plates are balanced between opposite sides of the
building. Transfer beams replace columns in some zones to facilitate
uninterrupted floor space. An art installation by Bruno Periera has been
commissioned to work for the upper floor.
An underlying logic within each design is pushed to highest standards
till the programme becomes iconic but that is not her aim. “It is
something which evolves through the design process,” clarifies Hadid.
“Architecture can also assist in the reorganisation of living patterns in a more
meaningful way,” explains Hadid.
With projects across 55 nations, The Dominion marked her debut in yet another
country. The last three decades have witnessed immense and noteworthy
contributions from her. She deconstructs her constant driving force as a
commitment towards society, to constantly raise standards to make people feel
good in their spaces.
Delayed by the 2008 economic crisis, yet completed in three years, The
Dominion stands like an exclusive lyrical piece coining Hadid as a revered
architectural composer.

DELINEATING THE
DESIGN MINDSET
The design industry today is budding with young talent who believe in mysticism with an interior goal, where you are your own
temple and your own priest. It represents a forum that enforces credence in a psychic connection with a vision that it holds
right till the end, making a bold statement. We visit some modern office spaces that speak the intrinsic language of design
philosophies harboured by young and upcoming design firms like Jagya Designs, Neogenesis + Studi0261, Patch Design
Studio and Planet 3 Studios.

‘Jagya’, or space in Gujarati is the key raw material in the design
process of architect Sanjay Ramani, reflecting in this workplace
as a natural, rough and vernacular effect. The constituents that
compose this space depict a distinctive design with a definite
identity and purpose. The design process attempts to redefine,
working against the law of existence and forcing the object in
question to leave its originality and transform into something new.
Experimentation leads to drainage pipes and tyres becoming light
holders, cardboard rolls and oil containers supporting table tops
and pieces of paper turning into wall cladding material. The logo
made of bricks and cement equates itself with the substance
of any built form. Text embedded in terrazzo floors guide you
through, while ceiling shades shift between black and white.
Nature peeps in from every possible opening and a dark passage
leads to the main cabin changing the experience once again.

The non-conventional brief provided by the digital media startup
was of an informal space reminiscent of a café with storage
facilities. A two feet thick wall providing sound insulation to the
screening room was built around quiet zones, segregating them
from open workspaces.
Niches in the wall were provided as spaces to rest and ideate and
also hold large volumes of storage. Its length was animated by
parrot green upholstered seating, while grey packaged surfaces
held the television and idea wall. A platform above the editing
room provided a space to rest for long overnight hauls. A raised
stage doubled up as a discussion and audition area and the couch
seating facilitated sit down discussions.
A combination of wood and wired glass acted as a playful
interface between cabins and seating areas. Nails were used on
wooden planks to create the signage. Fun elements and a freedom
to explore unconventional materials drove the design team here.

Four levels of corporate headquarters and laboratories was
challenging to unify through a common thread. The design team
had to come up with a strategy for visitor management that
resulted in an elongated reception area straddling two cores
allowed interconnection. Cabins were then inserted at strategic
points along with enclosed areas that helped break the open plan
at points of exchange between unrelated departments.
A central path animated by casual spaces also posed as a social
platform. The only deliberate separation was with the BPO arm
that required segregated access for operational reasons. The
corporate and lower floors were connected by a designated and
equipped space for conferences and meetings.
A faceted, wooden partition twisting into alcoves served as a visual
linking device. The sculpted reception table was a focal point of
design. Interior spaces interacted on a personal level through
technology which enabled people to connect with a tap on their
smart phones.

Surat Art Silk Cloth Manufacturer’s Association’s office, designed
by Neogenesis + Studi0261, uses the identity of the product to
weave its design story. The architects have deconstructed the
makeup of silk fiber in order to knit their design philosophy.
The structure of silk fiber is a triangular prism which allows the
cloth to refract incoming light at different angles, thus producing
different, shimmering colours. This property inspired the design
firm to create a language for the space which acts as a skin in the
working areas of the office.
The entrance screen is made of currently outdated plastic bobbins
but its presence personifies its past significance. The spaces are
enhanced by the use of a legible and contemporary signage which
entwines different elements into one. Dashes of earthy yellows and
browns mix with the otherwise achromatic palette, making the
interiors stand out.

Tania Singh Khosla’s, tsk Design has over
the years peddled upon a fine balance
between an internationalist and modern
Indian design aesthetic - having always
been inspired and informed by the
modern and traditional, global and local.
According to Khosla, “A rapidly evolving
urban Indian landscape and a culture that
is undeniably rooted in its unique sense of
self creates an exciting set of possibilities
for communication and design.”
tsk Design aims to create design
solutions that are smart, innovative and
culturally relevant. Walking into the
Bengaluru headquarters of innovation
lead technology company Sandisk, we
get a glimpse of how a space has been
enhanced by way of environmental
graphics that are underlined by an Indian
essence. We reveal this beautiful merger of
art, science and culture.
Thriving on the tag line, ‘your imagination,
our storage’, it would be difficult for one
to contain their creative instincts while
thinking of a design makeover for such a
company. It’s probably hard to let go of
the fact that there’s always room for a
little bit more.

ART
IN SITU
Sometimes design practices focus on the root
of art over science, using various perceptual
mediums to break even. tsk Design responds to
this challenge in the Sandisk office in Bengaluru.

tsk Design decided to work with the brand
colours of Sandisk, creating an integrated
mix of conventional Indian flavours and
environmental visuals, that fell seamlessly
into a contemporary space appealing to
both global and local audiences. Adopting
hints from South Indian culture, Khosla
has deftly combined the folk art of Kolam
with fragments of her professional mind
in order to create a space that tells its
own story.
Kolam is a native art that is hand drawn at
the entrance of most homes in South India
to usher in good fortune. It is composed
of rice flour lines and curved loops drawn
around an underlying grid of dots.
Bringing together contrasting aesthetics
- rational (the grid) and decorative (fluid
looping lines), the Kolam forms the basis
of design in the office.
This versatile grid allows for significant
variety in form and scale while
maintaining a consistent identity
throughout the building. The Kolam
grids have been used to create a varied
palette of patterns, signage and way
finding graphics.
The use of art in designing the office is
purely sanctorium. It draws a line nowhere
and yet defines each part of the storage
house’s headquarters by presenting an
adequate outward symbol of some fact in
the interior life of the space.
The primary colours mingle well with
the grayscale and stability defining
browns to form a dominating yet free
flowing colour palette. Laser cut vinyl
stickers and wallpapers are juxtaposed
with 3D pvc discs and motifs embossed
into resin to create a textured material
design. The office transmits an energetic
fervor through its arty vibe making it a
hypnogagic watch to the eyes.
