Required fluidity is achieved in a rigid framework with subtle curvilinear treatment to corner junctions. The spaces are planned or styled to surrender to the adjoining hill, the material palette is tastefully chosen to match with different shades of the hill throughout the year.

Thus, nature flows to the indoors, and space becomes part of nature and vice versa.

Climatically, most of the spaces facing or opening towards eastern hill help to keep the areas well lit with natural light coming in without the extra glare and heat throughout the working hours.

THE PALETTE

Material selection as light oak wood furniture, In-situ concrete floor, natural brick paving with tall seamless walls, and ceilings in pastel green lime plaster finish is the result of the desired peaceful working environment.
