Striking a Balance Between Aesthetics & Functionality

The 8000 sqft office located in Nagpur's commercial hub of VIPL I Park, is contemporary, vibrant, and characterises the company’s brand with its trademark colour. The space is made interesting with partitions and taking inspiration from the artwork of artist Piet Mondrian who embraced the art of pure abstraction and is well known for his grid-based paintings, where black lines demarcate larger and fewer rectangular forms, and the voids are punctuated with primary colours in addition to white.

Striking a Balance Between Aesthetics & Functionality

The office has an open floor layout. At the entrance is the reception area, entirely constructed of glass while a wallpaper illustrates the company's journey. Partitions composed of aluminium frames and accentuated with white and primary coloured glasses, harmonise with the pristine white gypsum ceiling and marble flooring. Modular furniture brings flexibility and simplicity. The workplace strikes a balance between aesthetics and functionality, while infusing branding into the design.

A key component of the design is that all of the materials used are acquired indigenously, making the built form eco-friendly
