Project Overview
Interior Design Project Info
“Rich patterns and textures that communicate the business”
The Brief
To create an impressive and modern office that reflects the business of the client which is in the oil & gas industry
The Site
A very unusual award winning and iconic GBI rated building designed by ZLG
Floor plates vary from floor to floor and the windows looking out of the building seem to be laid in a haphazard manner
The Design Rationale
A nautilus shaped reception was designed to create a dynamic space that contrasts the angular shape of the building, allowing the designers to create an impressive sweeping backdrop wall that separates the internal corridor from the reception
Rich patterns in the form of wood grains, organic patterns and textures dominate to convey the richness of the interiors and the business of the client
The circular waiting area connects with the sweeping curved wall perfectly and creates a cozy and inviting lounge
The curved reception counter in opaque and translucent light emitting synthetic resin echoes the organic treatment to the backdrop wall which exudes a stunning symphony of curves and organic shapes that closely mimic the corporate branding
Organic patterns and forms are used in the office to soften the space and create a warm and welcoming interior
Rooms were carefully designed to “hide” the obtrusive columns of the buildings while ensuring maximum views as per GBI requirements through the use of glass walls
A warm color scheme permeates the interior, giving the space a rich yet contemporary “look” which is necessary due to the high number of important visitors coming to the office
Thoughtful space planning has resulted in a highly functional office; the ability of the office to connect to the subsidiary office’s Boardroom and Executive Toilets which are shared was carefully planned in a way that visitors will not realize when they are in the subsidiary office space
