Architect Akshay Selukar

The office has an open layout which emphasizes proper work environment breaking the boundaries between the employees, favoring shared workspaces rather than segregated offices for better communication, culture and trust.
Designing being a field where exchange of knowledge is a major factor, an attempt has been made to highlight the significance of chaupal as a public place for civil society in India. The chaupal not only helps to add an informal sitting area in a formalized professional space but also serves the purpose of adding an aesthetic feel to the entire area with the help of a natural tree spreading its beautiful shadow on the exposed concrete finished ceiling.
For blurring the boundaries between inside and outside, huge glass partitions have been used to allow ample amount of natural light to enter making the space not only lively but sustainable too. When talking of sustainability, a lot of green elements and plants have been added to invite nature inside the office which helps in refreshing the creative minds to come up with better ideas and to provide healthy, natural, well ventilated environment. The employees when constantly gazing into screens could get a break just by looking to the greenery and could give rest to their eyes too.
Washrooms being the most ignored elements in offices have been treated very differently when it comes to an office where ideas could strike even while sitting in the loo and hence being named the thinking room. With yellow tiles and grey walls giving contrast as a statement and adding colorful art pieces made by the team itself to add vibrancy to such a confined area.
“God lies in the details” could be clearly justified in this office with each wall being decorated with paintings made by the architect himself using bright colors on plane white walls, placement of lights, each drawer knob and switches also being specifically chosen to give the space a personal touch.
