Our client approached our studio with a vision: to recreate the inner garden but integrate it with functional spaces for social interaction and work.

In our quest to break free from traditional office design, we envisioned a space that feels entirely different. We introduced a second level, designed as a raised catwalk bordered by seating balconies and stacked glass meeting cubicles. This creative use of verticality maximizes the space’s height, encouraging interaction and exploration of its various facilities.

The core concept revolves around a ‘work café,’ featuring a coffee bar, a kitchen buffet, a lunch area, a gaming zone, diverse meeting spaces (both open and closed), and a variety of seating options. All of this is set against a lush backdrop of greenery, evoking an almost tropical ambiance. Finishing touches, such as a high-end snooker table and a gaming area, make the space a true second home for its users.

A standout feature of the space is the large-scale artwork that doubles as an acoustic solution. Behind it lies a repurposed auditorium, transformed into a training room. Together with the work and meeting spaces spread across the other floor levels, this hybrid environment offers our client the tools to fully unlock their business potential.
