This 4000 sq.ft. office is situated on the 27th floor of a new office tower in Mumbai, India.
The clients, building developers, had an extensive brief requiring 6 cabins, conference and discussion rooms, and seating for 36 employees.
The palette for the office includes a variety of sustainable materials, juxtaposed differently within each of the created volumes. Cabins skirt the perimeter, with open seating spaces forming the central volume.
The available height of 6 meters, a rare aspect of new office buildings, is retained in entirety.
A collage of paper tubes, treated with fire retardant coatings of different diameters, form a sculptural ceiling over the central volume. These are interspersed with tubular lights created especially for this office.
The 6m high partitions surrounding the central volume are designed in an abstract composition of wood and glass, with cane, jute, and fabric. The cabins beyond these partitions are sculpted in recycled plywood strips collected from various other sites, undulating in plan and section simultaneously. The tables, credenzas, and storage cabinets within the cabins are also constructed with plywood strips, lending a homogeneous sculptural look within each cabin.
The larger conference room has a paper tube light installation with different sized tubes suspended at varying heights.
A breakout space overlooking the city’s skyline is created towards the end of the office with a bar counter and casual seating spaces. The reception space is monolithic, with fiber board panels created like concrete planks. The table and benches are constructed with monolithic light weight foam concrete designed specifically for this office. Organic swirls in fabric form lights suspended in each cabin, designed for the office in collaboration with a lighting manufacturer. All of the walls are finished in lime plaster, without cement. All of the furniture, lighting, partitions, and ceilings were constructed and fabricated on site with a skilled team of workers, and are made from sustainable materials.
The paper tube office, designed for the Vibrant Group, consists of a series of volumes with varied textures, materials, and compositions of paper, cane, jute, fabric, recycled plywood, lime plaster, and terrazzo flooring, forming distinct individual spaces that simultaneously merge into each other.
