‘Heii’ in Japanese refers to simplicity in design & language, emphasising on clarity & straightforwardness; much like our clients and the design concept for their workspace. A workspace located in Lower Parel- a commercial & hospitality hub of Mumbai; the client’s requirement was a simple design housing a large cabin, a small cabin, workstations, a large pantry & storage space.

 

Our vision was to create a functional layout along with simple visual aesthetics through clean lines & uncluttered spaces, a neutral colour palette and a limited yet cohesive material palette. 

 

We used elements to highlight the space like- muted coloured paintings, coloured cement hanging lights and fabrics in pastel shades. A shade of grey was used through paints & laminates to create a border above the lintel level in the reception and open workstation areas. Due to the lack of natural light in the office, we utilised the central passage to create a skylight effect through a large panel light and used the flooring tiles in a mosaic pattern to subtly highlight the area while adding an outdoorsy feel to this transition space. 

 

The entire office pantry which doubles up as a cloud kitchen for a baking business was colour blocked in a muted shade of greyish green- the wall, ceiling, storages & the door. 

 

The final outcome was a minimal, contemporary design which is easy on the eyes making the workspace ideal for focus and productivity.
