The Abu Dhabi-based bank's office in Bangalore is not just a tech-enabled workspace but also a space that prioritizes employee well-being. Designed by Zyeta this workspace is a people-centric hub, equipped with technology-enabled modules that facilitate work beyond the physical office. The design scheme is formulated to redefine functionality and spatial performance, creating a progressive and futuristic workplace.
One of the important features of the office is its spatial experience, which is reminiscent of an art gallery, promoting both individuality and social interaction. The space is designed to be a welcoming environment that fosters connection, interaction, and collaboration. As you enter the space, you are immersed in a stylish and brand-driven environment that seamlessly blends design, functionality, and refinement. The achromatic color scheme is contrasted with gentle pastels and the brand's signature hues, evoking an artistic atmosphere.
The office layout is designed to maximize natural light, with workstations and meeting areas facing the windows. Collaborative and agile spaces are strategically placed away from these zones to promote accessibility and interaction. Collaborative areas like agile hubs and huddle spaces are dispersed throughout each work neighborhood.
The design of every neighborhood involves distinct units that can function as separate workstations or be connected to create a modular unit depending on the team's needs and tasks. The raised floor technique is employed to conceal cables beneath the floor, facilitating mobility and flexibility of the units. This allows for a flexible and adaptable workspace, giving employees the freedom to customize their work environment to suit their needs.
Moreover, the entire project life cycle involves the use of AR/VR technology to coordinate with clients overseas. Furthermore, the utilization of BIM and virtual technologies aided in the smooth planning and execution, making this one of the ground-breaking projects in the workplace design industry.
This sustainable, sophisticated, and minimalist workspace effectively communicates the brand's narrative while also promoting flexibility. The overall design is in line with the brand's focus on people, creating welcoming spaces that foster connection, interaction, and collaboration.
