The main challenge of this project was to transform a dingy and moist basement space into a well lit and comfortable work space. Around 200 sq. ft of built area was sacrificed to create a sunken court in the front from where one approaches the office thereby changing the experience as well as the spatial feel of the office.

​

It is from here that the design takes off. Having brought in ample natural light into the office we chose to work with a minimal colour scheme of whites and greys with highlights of veneer in the premium spaces. The office consists of an entrance/common premium area of reception, library/lounge and informal meeting space and conference approached from the entrance sunken court. This is followed by an open office area seating 20 people and 4 cabins for senior executives. And finally, a cafe/pantry and the senior advocate's office both overlooking the rear court. Each space is carefully designed to be functional and at the same time elegant and appealing.

​

The open office space is defined by a suspended ceiling element that guides the linear movement and defines the two wings. Each space is further enhanced by art work specific to the space.
