eco-conscious design, with reclaimed wood accents, recycled materials, and low-VOC paints contributing to a healthier, more sustainable workspace
The furniture is a curated mix of vintage and retro pieces think mid-century lounge chairs, ergonomic gaming desks, and restored filing cabinets that lend character and authenticity to the environment. A custom-built soffit runs above key collaborative zones, integrating acoustic paneling with hidden lighting to define spaces without the need for walls, while adding a sculptural, architectural detail that draws the eye.
Playful color palettes mustard yellows, forest greens, and moody reds interact with exposed brick and refinished concrete floors to create a warm, energetic atmosphere. Locally sourced artwork and layered textures complete the look, turning the office into a dynamic and inspiring space where creativity thrives.
