Five stunning office spaces in India

Individuality and quirkiness seem to be the mantras as 2016 witnessed some brilliant work from interior design firms. Here are 5 spectacular office spaces that made an entry this year.

With fierce competition between firms to top one another, there is an increased effort to highlight their offices as the most desired place to work. And with that comes the trend of showcasing uniqueness. Read on to find out our curated collection of 5 stunning office spaces in India.

Riverbed Technology, Bengaluru Riverbed’s office in Bengaluru is a true reflection of its culture - bang at the centre of the office space is the relaxation, ideation and collaboration hub that encourages a transparent and communal environment for employees to constantly interact with each other. Oculus Design Studio has designed the working environment as contemporary and fun, but retained the company’s functional core and global outlook. The spatial design along with a flowing, co-ordinated layout reflects the structure of its corporate philosophy and ethos of its employees fresh and energetic. You can witness the use of elements connecting to nature, starting from the reception that makes a brilliant impact on any visitor - the ceiling suspended planters along the external glazing, natural stone finish columns and indoor plants create an exceptional Biophilic design. Speaking about the colour theme used, Oculus Design Studio team says, “Defining the different spaces through the use of texture and colour became apparent the more we absorbed the space. We began to lean towards the neutral shades of grey and black as the dominant back drop, together with tones of orange to reflect the Riverbed brand, using nature’s texture as an accent throughout.”

To unwind at the end of the day, employees tend to gravitate towards the central space that is designed to evoke a sense of calmness.

The design of this central space feels like you are sitting under a tree; now, there is no need to step out of the office for a change of scenery.
