Upon entering, visitors are greeted by a modest yet elegant waiting and reception area. The centrepiece of this space is a beautifully handcrafted reception table, expertly engineered to appear cantilevered. Suspended above the reception area is a striking geometric sculptural lighting element, adding a touch of sophistication and visual interest. This striking feature not only captivates visitors but also reflects the office's dynamic and harmonious ethos, leaving a lasting impression.
The main office area is accessible through a sleek glass door, allowing an abundance of natural light to filter in. This spacious area is home to eight open workstations, neatly divided by eye-level screens to foster collaboration and productivity. The workstations are positioned to ensure that each employee has an unobstructed view of the surrounding space, promoting a sense of unity and cohesion.
Designed with functionality and style in mind, the Office 45 Office conference room is an eight-seater space that facilitates seamless discussions. Geometric acoustic panels line the walls, enhancing sound quality and ensuring a distraction-free environment. The design adheres to the cohesive office palette of greys and browns, creating a warm yet professional atmosphere. Above the minimalist conference table, a bespoke lighting fixture provides ambient illumination, blending practicality with elegance. Each element, from furniture to finishes, is thoughtfully chosen to support collaboration and align with the overall design vision.
The director's cabin is a masterclass in understated elegance, combining sophisticated design elements with a sense of openness. Fluted panelling adds texture and depth to the space, while vibrant cuboids serve as striking focal points, creating an engaging backdrop that contrasts with the calm, professional atmosphere. Glass partitions enhance the cabin’s openness, allowing natural daylight to flood the room while maintaining a seamless visual connection with the surrounding office. This design approach promotes transparency and unity, fostering a sense of inclusion. Overall, the Office 45 Office project successfully blends functionality, elegance, and modern design, making it a dynamic and harmonious workspace.
