Minimalism is a design concept that strips things down to their bare seeking to bring out the core of interiors, enhancing their functionality while minimizing the unnecessary details. Adhering to minimalism, VMA designed an office space for an eminent persona from Mumbai, a writer, director and producer, associated with Bollywood. Belonging and dealing with the cream of the society, the client brief included creating an elite office to be designed aesthetically and practically as per his requirement. The clients mindset revolved around making his office a second home, a place for work and leisure.
The 29,00 sq ft of centrally air-conditioned space was designed with a main cabin, private study, a conference room with an entire glazed curve; the reception and service areas within the interiors. Following the same design concept, the designers successfully created each space differently. One wall was glazed, exposing each and every cabin to the nature outside. The office being on the fourth floor of a glass building, the glass facade directly faced the Gulmohar tree planted outside, adding to the colour required during the day. Automated blinds with semi transparent and opaque mood were used, allowing the client to control the illumination and privacy level according to his frame of mind.
For making the space incandescent, Leds, Halogens majorly accompanied with indirect LED lights were used in lighting the entire office. This illumination created warmth and character to the space at the evening and the night time.
