This tropical paradise is located in a very busy commercial district and the city's principal hub and in the heart of Surat's industrial zone. The office is spread over a total area of 4713 sq. ft. and consists of three fundamental functional zones.

1. Public space zone [ Reception and waiting zone].

2. Semi-public zone [ main executive, conference]

3. Private zone [Production area 1 and Production area-2].

The core idea of the built environment is to bring it back to nature. The design philosophy is a blend of rustic themes based on the idea of living with nature. Our client is deeply involved in the diamond industry, but apart from being very down-to-earth, also attached to nature. The entire feel of the office space derives inspiration from the fondness that the client has for the environment and the simplicity with which he pursues life. The space has been designed to resonate with the values of its owner and carries a vibe that is raw, organic, rustic, and tropical.

The office space sports a variety of textures with Exposed concrete taking the centerstage along with Stucco paint, Fabric leather, and Reusable PVC modular panel adding a subtle character to the surfaces and the doors. The subtlety of the surfaces and the variations in the textures brings forth a backdrop that highlights the main attraction of the office i.e the plants.

The main access wall skin is covered with reusable fluted PVC module panels that give a firewood feel. Furthermore, the brushed brass logo and the plant added to its grandeur.

Upon entering the premise, you feel the flora gallery where you are greeted by the abundant touch of the sun's rays and the various shrubs. This is not just an office; this is a manmade 'tiny jungle' which is adorned with an art canvas and sculpted furniture. The vinyl floor surface gives a seamless visual and maintains the spaciousness of the whole area. The hallway is lit up with plentiful sun rays which are connected to a lead thin-frame glass partition layer which makes you feel like you are standing outside in the greenery as the sun's rays are spread evenly at every corner. All cabins are completely transparent but also maintain privacy using minimal obstruction. Seating in a waiting lounge makes you feel like you are in a park; an informal lounge makes you feel open. Minimally, an executive space gives a soothing as well as homely feel with lavish green.

Fluid art is inspired by 'Diamond Dispersion' – where the light travels through the diamond and separates into spectral hues. A fusion of art and science is used in this space.

For an execution, each furniture component was prepared with specific details using detailed 3d models, so that it could be easily understood, and implemented as well as achieved the expected result. All executive furniture is specially designed in the style of modular furniture. The reception table is adorned with a pattern of diamond facets which add to the beauty of the furniture.
