Clarity and authentic materials shape the space
Texture, structure and finish aligned for corporate purpose and quiet elegance.
The interior palette embraces raw textures: refined metal detailing and minimalist joinery offer a restrained foundation. Clean surfaces and neutral finishes create visual clarity and allow architectural elements to stand out. The tea-prep and break zones introduce subtle contrasts with lighter veneers and soft lighting, providing warm respite within the work environment. Lighting is layered, combining natural daylight, ambient overhead fixtures and task lighting, to ensure comfort and clarity across zones. Every material and finish has been chosen to withstand corporate use while preserving an understated sense of refinement.
