This office space presents an amalgamation of industrial elements with the occasional use of casual accents to personalise an otherwise serious ambiance.
The prevalence of industrial features is hard to miss when walking through this space; the entryway is flanked by two discussion spaces sturdily encased in glass – an apparent statement of the ideals of transparency and confidence for the organisation occupying this office. Black metallic frames prevail throughout the rest of the space, being used by the Hamodal group to raise glass walls around rooms and privacy screens between cubicles.

The imposing glass cubes enclosing the discussion spaces imply a stringent sense of security where even the contents of conversations are guarded. These rooms are held together by thick square pipe arches powder-coated in carbon that frame the glass curtain walls. The glass panels are point fixed with clamps – the kind typically seen suspending glass facades on the exteriors of modern commercial buildings, providing a robust impression of impenetrability to these discussion spaces.

Sprinkler pipes and air-conditioning ducts are left exposed on ceilings, while cool-white fluorescent tube fixtures are grouped into trios of modern arrangements that provide a visual divergence from the serious lines of the black metal frames. Round ceiling lamps hanging in meeting rooms enable some curves to permeate through the cuboid spaces by mimicking the circular air-conditioning vents.

In tandem with the glass curtain walls defining meeting spaces, expanded metal mesh screens with repeating diamond patterns form the divisions between individual workspaces and hallways. To maintain the theme of transparency, the load-bearing wall beside the executive office is fitted with a generously-sized window while remainder of the room’s walls are composed of glass in black frames.
A number of casual elements were included to offset the serious character of this décor: a series of abstract collages constructed in modern cubist style on rich backgrounds of primary colours help to break up the monotony of the cubicles; relaxing seating corners are formed out of groups of beanbag chairs and footstools upholstered in a variety of fabrics; and the walls are saturated in an energising yellow in the break-room.

The break-room provides a welcome retreat from the seriousness of the office space with a more liberal application of colour, and the exchange of manufactured materials for more natural-looking textures such as wood panelling on kitchen cabinets and bare cement render on floors. The use of warm white exposed hanging bulbs instead of fluorescent tubes also serves to make this space more relaxing.
