The Director’s Cabin features a meticulously crafted, stylish boomerang-shaped table with an Italian marble top and a matte gold metal base, blending luxury with practicality. A multi-layered side credenza serves as a design highlight, complemented by a structural column in a vibrant rust colour, adding a bold pop to the sophisticated palette. Expansive windows with striped main and sheer blinds introduce a quirky charm, creating a mesmerizing interplay of natural light and shadows that enhances the cabin’s aesthetic. Neutral tones dominate, accented by bold red and blue to inject vibrancy, while a combination of beige, white, and muted gold fosters a warm, professional ambiance.

The conference room exudes refined sophistication, filled with natural light streaming through expansive windows. Bespoke lighting fixtures with textured surfaces add a tactile element, while a large, smooth tabletop anchors the room with understated elegance. A vibrant pop of rust and blue colour creates a striking focal point amidst the neutral palette. The back wall features a dynamic credenza with zigzagging lines, seamlessly drawing attention alongside a curved display rack that adds intrigue. This interplay of intersecting lines and forms invites curiosity, enhancing the overall design of the room.
