OFFICE FOR A START- UP - OUTBOXY, NEW DELHI
​
Completed : 2020; 1500 sq.ft.
This office was designed for a startup or a group of startups. At the conceptualisation stage of the project the nature of the business of the startup was not revealed to the designers. However, they were asked to make a contemporary and young office that could switch between multiple businesses.
​
The design that was conceived was hence of transparency and flexibility where the spaces while being physically well defined were visually connected and non hierarchical.
​
The office was divided into public interaction zones to the left of the reception comprising of meeting areas and a semi private open office space on the right. At the far end were the two private cabins for the MD and ED of the office. A silent zone with 4 workstations was provided for more concentrated work environment different from a typical open office.
​
The material palette was to create a minimal look of greys and wood. A feature concrete wall runs through all the spaces of the office and provides for a connecting element through all the spaces. The ceiling of the open office is open but highlighted by suspended elements like the lighting. A suspended metallic mesh highlights the movement zone of the office.
