Patterns and geometries used in their simplest forms is one of the key concepts while designing the new office space for Sicom Arc. These are often reflected in various elements like the reception area, the book shelf wall, the board room table top, glass partitions, etc. The half height patterned glass partitions of the cabins not only offer natural light to the internal workstation area but also make the cabin areas more open and interactive with the rest of the office space.

The design brief looks at the office cafeteria not as a sole function but as a space which brings about community eating, reading and working together. Situated in a corporate park, the space had constraints of light and volume. A strategic colour palette with minimum floor coverage was one of the most important aspects to be considered while designing the space. Also, some quirky art work and an open library binds the space together inspite of different functions to cater. Photo credits: www.KunalBhatia.net

The conceptual design and layout of the bank is based on the RBI regulations of banks. The entry is designed using the longer side of the site to create an aisle for the spaces which are used on day to day basis by the customer. The administration space is secluded from the aisle to maintain privacy. The glass partitions with horizontal striations around the manager’s cabin creates transparency as well as maintains privacy. The vertical panels in the aisle allow for a space for the writing ledge and information display of the bank.
