ENERGIZING THE WORKPLACE

Dsp Design Associates takes the unusual workplace a few steps further by developing themed zones that represent indianness at the very heart of their fabric… dsp design associates, in order to develop work zones and informal collaboration spaces for a prominent international financial institution in bengaluru, has broken away from the usual office environment. They have done this by drawing influence from the local culture. Each informal space, which has been carefully incorporated into the office areas, has a theme of its own, which constantly breaks the monotony of a standard office. While the governing concept relies heavily on the indian courtyard and the town square, the latter serves as the inspiration for the former. This LEED Gold-certified interior has an integrated mix of work and leisure areas, with the informal collaboration spaces having their own small havens thanks to the project’s primary focus being on the health and happiness of the workforce. While one invokes spiritual tones via seating that is inspired by the ghats of Varanasi, the other transports guests to the depths of the forest with its wooden motif and green ambient, bringing them as near to nature as possible inside a man-made structure. The work cafĂŠ is furnished with cinema memorabilia, vinyl records, and even a restored yezdi bike; it is made to seem like a studio and is themed after the bollywood film industry. Another workcafe in Goa, appropriately named Morjim, will greet you with shacks, surfboards, and a boat when you arrive. The highlight is an understated addition of oddity that gives the atmosphere a feeling of mystery and assures that there is never a boring time for the personnel. The fundamental concept is to provide the worker with a flexible and positive working environment that not only helps him to relax but also motivates him to achieve greater success. This workplace conveys the message, “Work hard, then kick back and relax” via its use of a fascinating color palette, materials, and comfy furniture arrangement.
