The entrance represents the minimalist aesthetic where Nordic industrial starkness blends with organic wood panels and brick feature wall. The exterior feature wall uses a blend of geometrical patterns created with vertical and angular lines. A small garden bordering the edges and wall sconces mitigate the massive monolith-like feature while highlighting the design.

The entire office space is designed to maximize the use of light and space. Every cabin is furnished with a seamless desk and storage area. The neutral color palette on the furnishings and walls offers a warm and organic feel to the space to blend with the natural light streaming in from the windows. The clean geometric lines create a sense of organization and discipline generating an environment for enhanced focus and productivity. Colored wood panels pop through the desk space to add an element of interest and give each cabin space a stamp of individuality.

The triangular motif is carried through the main office in the laminate pattern of the table, chair design, and feature piece on the desk. The neutral and warm colour tones continue in the furnishings and floral highlights. The exterior feature wall offers a shield of privacy to the interior cabins while allowing light and access to exterior views.

Reception of Zest Marine Services Pvt. Ltd. by Studio Archaic

The main office features a spacious seating area that represents the green theme running through the work space. Wide and comfortable sofas in shades of mint reflect the hues of nature punctuating the corners of the office. The center table has been chosen in an organic shape highlighted with flower-shaped décor accent to generate an inside-outside feel.

The individual offices border a common central working space imagined as a continuous table with comfortable chairs that allow easy communication and collaboration. The neutral shades reflect in the furnishings with vertical panels on the desk fronts and ceilings continuing the design theme of the space. Azure blue side panels to tables and accents bordering the top tie in the colour scheme of the entire workspace, adding a vibrancy while also lending a calming effect. A wide aisle between desks allows for easy passage through the space without making it crowded.

The reception area is placed adjacent to a large entrance door directly into the foyer. The foyer features a massive wall-size marble accent tying in the exterior with the interiors, giving a luxe feel to the space. A seamless blue and silver front panel to the reception desk hides the storage and seating area according to a neat look to the space. The opposite wall is installed with a screen for CCTV offering an easy angle for the desk manager to observe the functioning of the space.

Corner desks have been fitted with a blue-and-white wall inlay feature to break the monotony of the neutral shade with matching desk palette. The soft shades are chosen to maximize perception of light and space. A meeting/conference room borders the central wall of the workspace. Offset with floor-to-ceiling glass walls, it offers a spacious and comfortable setting for separate discussions without being cut off from the larger workspace. This allows a creative blending of privacy and transparency in the work approach of the company.

Ample lighting, soft accent features, and seamless facades of work spaces and storage units allow the design to blend discipline with interest reflecting a workspace that encourages productivity and creativity in equal parts. The clean lines and colour palette offer a calming work ambience, while shades of wood and green create an impression of proximity to nature within an industrial area.

The warm yellow light sconces placed strategically on the exterior façade and entrance walls generate a soft glow that not only offers ample light after dark but highlights the symmetry and aesthetic of the design theme.
