The play of light and shadow through frosted glass lends an interesting texture to the office and fulfils the needs of connectivity, privacy and daylighting in a more poetic, abstract way than the earlier designs.
Our client Egon Zehnder is a highly reputed global HR firm, with a culture of dependability, professionalism, collaboration, transparency and warmth!
This is our 4th office design for this client. The earlier designs relied on wood, for warmth, and glass, for transparency, combined together to balance the needs of connectivity and privacy.
Frosted glass and poetic textures
For this office located in Gurgaon, the brief called for a more contemporary and global take, based on which we chose ‘frosted glass’ as the main protagonist of our design. The play of light and shadow through frosted glass lends an interesting texture to the office and fulfils the needs of connectivity, privacy and daylighting in a more poetic, abstract way than the earlier designs.
Spacious, comfortable and elegant office
Despite the glass, joins and junctions had to be designed to satisfy the acoustic needs of typical meeting and cabin spaces. Fluted MDF and raw silk panels and clean-white and wood furniture with hints of chrome and cranberry are the other materials in the palette used to create this spacious, comfortable and elegant office.
