Cityspace'82 Architects Office

Located in Gurugram, the Cityspace’82 Architects Office is an efficient & proactive workspace designed with a contemporary minimalistic approach. The notion was to fabricate a hospitable working environment with varied work settings that fostered creativity. From collaborative working spaces to individual work zones, this compact office serves a wholesome space inculcating ingenuity, fun and learning. Entire space is kept simple using the ever-green and universal colour palette of black & white foregrounding all other distinctive characteristics & intricacies. This office space conveys a keen sense of design for clients, vendors and other visitors as they step in.

The aim was to outline an unconventional workspace, not rudimentarily segregated into cubicles. Therefore, Ar. Sumit Dhawan opted for an open plan concept for his office. One enters the office area through a staircase opening into a basement to set foot in a virtual play of black and white. The curvilinear railing made out of a parabolic curve of metal serves as an extraordinary design element. The quirky design of the reception table is the first thing that catches the patrons’ eyes. The backdrop panel of the reception is inscribed with the company logo and a chic customised clock showcasing only numbers “6, 9 & 12”. The black feature wall on the left showcases framed pictures of the completed projects, capturing the vignette of the work the organisation pertains to.

The office is partially divided into two segments, where the left and right sides serve as visiting and working areas, respectively. The visitors' side is accentuated with track lights to confer upon a winsome appeal. Two discussion tables are also provided alongside the reception area, also used for vendor interactions. The working area incorporates 25 workstations in such a way that the senior architects can have easy interaction with their teams.
