An office, calling for an expression capable of positioning itself in narrow bilateral bays defined between large scale walls and adjacent interior spaces on either side which shall have an inevitable association in the design intervention. These parameters were consolidated in design and can be read through the relationship it has fixed between the proportion of the overall volume.

The entire volume draws light as needed for various activities.
The Entrance lobby with translucent ceiling lit constantly under natural lighting along with contrasting colours becomes the focus from linear spaces on either side. Split roof in the working area enabled north light to flood the space subtly, whereas a light well in the main cabin induced air escape while giving the space a sense of vibrancy under the play of natural light in the background.
The black and white holds the space together and makes a setting for turquoise to visually engage and direct the user in the nuances of light. However, for all its reduction, the design is by no means simplistic.
It is not often that a space withstands to be something of its own despite the asserted constraints, but this one has.
