Strategic use of vibrant colours and trendy materials successfully transforms an old office into a vibrant, conducive and interactive workplace.
It was an exciting endeavour for SQR (Square Root Architecture & Interior Design) when they were commissioned to revamp and uplift an audit firm’s four-decade-old office. Set within an old shophouse in Johor Bahru, the existing space was dark and worn, but the designers saw plenty of opportunities to transform it into a bright and lively work environment.

Against the pristine white reception area, the company’s logo stands out prominently with its bright blue backdrop, setting off a trendy vibe.

A warm and welcoming ambience is immediately apparent in this office.

Adjacent to the reception area is a lounge area which is done up in a cosy manner using modern furniture and a soothing colour palette.

For the Director’s room, the designers broke the rules by introducing a colourful theme that’s professional at the same time.

Bright hues were also used for the breakout space where employees can have meals and conversations with each other.
