Unique interior designs will emerge in 2019. The interior environment will strive for a more natural look, be more comfortable, and functionally more efficient. There will be greater use of building materials that are of top quality and eco-friendly, requiring less maintenance, and which are sustainable. Offices will seek a more natural look with ample use of wood complemented by shades of brown, and offset by a play of bright colours for the cheerful element. Three building materials on our list are R.C.C, Wood and Glass

The 2700 sq.ft. office is characterized by a simple yet sophisticated brand identity and designed to encourage a lively workplace. Based on an open-plan, the office is segregated into the required departments and workstations, where hierarchy is maintained by variation in size and ambience. From formal spaces like the conference room, accounts and directors' offices to more vibrant think-out-of-the-box spaces and brightly lit workstations, the office caters to a range of work modes.
An interesting feature (being an air conditioning systems' office) is the exposed copper pipes of the air conditioning system, allowing clients and visitors an insight into the workings of an AC system. The exposed ducting and AC system offer a remarkable contrast to the high-end material palette employed across the space. A combination of veneer and natural wood in dark shades and stark matt finishes of metal infuse a sense of warmth. The dark veneer on furniture and walls, at eye level, is balanced by contrasting grey ceiling tiles and beige terrazzo flooring.
Colorful pieces of furniture and graphics throughout add a dimension of play, while sleek and stylish elements like the copper pipe staircase railing and door handles introduce an element of quirkiness and give the space a sense of style. An installation, "Our Global Footprint" represents a world map composed of varying AC copper pipes and activates the central office zone. With the brand's global footprint highlighted on the map, the work of art doubles up as a pride-instilling and motivating tool that clients and employees can identify with.
A human-centric approach to both color and lighting allows for improved productivity and wellbeing of the employees. Interestingly used light fixtures augment the energetic and dramatic aura of the work place, underlining a very modern approach.
