The challenge was to strike a chord between two generations working at the same place with different mindsets and requirements. The area program included a reception area, cabins for directors and managers, a working area, a laboratory, a conference room, and guest rooms for visiting delegates. The design evolved in a manner that it segregates the work and leisure environments with the help of a courtyard.

This courtyard houses informal seating which acts as a breakout space for the employees. The workspace, the cabins, and the conference areas have been dealt with soothing minimal interiors involving subtle whites and wood finishes which gives it a corporate yet warm touch. The leisure area however is more of a dwelling-like facility that includes a lounge, kitchen, dining, and two bedrooms.

It is a place where people can socialize, enjoy their lunch or a cup of tea. The lounge space opens out into the courtyard making it relaxing and a favorite spot for everyone in the office.
