The concept behind the interior design for this builder and developer's office was to lend a welcome feel to their customers: i.e. prospective homeowners, while still identifying the space as a corporate office.

The design was devised employing various materials from the building industry and incorporating them in the detailing of interior elements. The idea was to make a statement of luxury using very basic elements, but employing them in a different way to create a bold and unexpected display.
The office comprises three main zones, namely: The formal reception leading to the Workspace, the Chairman's Enclosure with its separate access, and the Customer Interaction Lounge.
The Client as a corporate entity, one of the bigger names in the city's building industry for many decades, is now undergoing a transition with the younger generation stepping in to take charge.Their idea was to embrace the new world while preserving the legacy of the company.
The design intent was to create a contemporary open office, as minimal as possible. Concrete tile flooring provide a neutral base for the design elements to be subtly showcased.
Accents of blue and red have been sparsely incorporated through the spaces to mirror the branding colours of the company's logo. These provide a break from monotony while subconsciously connecting all of the spaces to the company's iconic presence.
The workspaces are predominantly designed in white to augment the natural light that abundantly flows into the office. Located on the second floor across the road from from a sports club, the office floor enjoys open views of sprawling tennis courts over verdant treetops from its glazed exterior walls.
The cabins of the senior managers are designed as open cubicles, defined only by translucent side partitions. Green walls in every zone make for a breathing space while providing relief to the indoor spaces.
