The site, nestled in Baben, Bardoli, held a unique promise despite having initial constraints, it offered the advantage of a picturesque view of the nearby lake. This picturesque view became a pivotal element in the project’s design, as we sought to harness the beauty of surrounding and infused it inside. The site presented an initial challenge with its dim and enclosed environment. The space was formerly a professional Spa, compromising the maze of partitions, each inhabiting a shower area. Its outer façade was defined with fixed glass, resulting in complete absence of natural ventilation. The transformation from this windowless and confined space to an open, well-lit and naturally ventilated office was remarkable endeavour.

The project involved transforming a non-used dark space into a vibrant and functional corporate office, harmonizing refreshing hues, natural light and ventilation, and minimalist design principles to create an amusing work environment.

The functional requirements were upto the mark as it was an Immigration Office. The functional requirements were as follow : MD’s Office, Admin office, Reception area, Waiting area, Examination area, LED display area facing towards outdoors. Their vision was to have a vibrant, well lit and functional environment that aligns with their business goal.

Waiting Lounge of A Symphony of Hues by Kashyap Bhuva Design Workshop

The journey commences at the Pastel Red Door, an emblematic threshold that breathes life into the very essence of this architectural masterpiece. A red door, pivoting gracefully to an astonishing 180 degrees, weaves seamlessly into the fabric of the wall when ajar. It is a theatrical performance, a poetic overture to the surrealism that awaits within meticulously sculpted chambers.

Within these walls, the color palette dances like verses in an architectural poem, with taupe-clad partitions as the backdrop for pastel accents that punctuate the spaces, each note resonating with purpose. In this realm, barriers fade into oblivion, allowing for an open stage where furniture takes center stage and becomes an integral part of the narrative.

In the midst of this spatial tapestry, spanning a modest 800 square feet, we embraced minimalism as a guiding principle, crafting a space that is both versatile and versatile. The site's vantage point offers a breathtaking vista of a nearby lake, a view that merges seamlessly with the embrace of daylight, inviting the outside world to participate in the interior experience.

The arched ceiling, like a masterful brushstroke, paints a visual path for those who traverse this sanctuary, while the linear flooring pattern serves as a poetic roadmap. Glass partitions are introduced to infuse the compact space with an aura of openness, an invitation to explore beyond. A cubist mass, serving as the reception area, introduces another layer of volume, where the application of micro-cement allows tactile communion with the wall's texture.

Adjacent to the waiting area lies the administrative cabin, demarcated by transparent partitions. Within this chamber, furniture and material palettes converge in harmonious symphony. Birch ply tabletops, metallic chairs and tables, and a drum-shaped wooden back resonate with warmth. Against a plain wall, a Blue Wall Art piece creates depth and intrigue, drawing one deeper into the narrative.

The transition from waiting area to administrative cabin marks a shift in mood, a transition from the effervescent embrace of taupe walls and pastel hues to the warmth cocooned within. Textures within these spaces become voices, each speaking eloquently to create a surreal and immersive experience for the end user.

Stepping into The Blue Room, the MD's cabin, is a foray into an intricate ballet of details. Here, the flooring becomes an intricate tapestry, where diagonal tiles interlace with circular patterns, enriched by the interplay of grey and blue epoxy inlays. The capsule-shaped side table mirrors the circular drum on which the table rests, an elegant choreography of form and function. Grey ceilings and floors act as a canvas, upon which pastel blue fluted wall panels are a crescendo that elevates the mood of the space to a poetic climax.
