Introduction

The workspace interiors for Unilab, a Pharmaceuticals and Chemical company located in north of Mumbai is designed to be an open plan and minimal one.

The clients who are well-traveled and trade across the world were keen to have an office with a modern and international feel as well as a calm working oasis within the chaotic Mumbai context.

Keeping this mind, we proposed to create a workspace that focuses on flexibility, transparency and tactility that would bring natural light with a contemporary and fresh feel to the interiors.

 

Concept
Inspired with the form of chemical compositions, SAV conceptualized the lighting, furniture and flooring pattern to create a layered and textured design showcasing the different formulas that the company uses in making their products. 
 

 

The proposal is to create an open plan interiors bringing natural light, transparency and a contemporary fresh feel.

Space Design

The proposal is to create an open plan interiors bringing natural light, transparency and a contemporary fresh feel.

The work-spaces are arranged centrally within the space on long desks that will allow for an expansive and flexible feel. Using mix of textures and lights the design will bring a tactility and softness to the space.

Floor Plan

Reflected Ceiling Plan

The meeting room and director spaces have custom fabricated furniture through a mix of traditional woodwork and joinery as well as CNC fabrication.

Tall bamboo screens and the desk planters add an organic green texture to the space.

Furniture, Lighting and Materiality

Made with a mix of traditional carpentry and new computational and fabrication technologies, the interior design focuses on three major layers that shape the space and moods.

The first is the seamless concrete floors and walls that have expansion joints in the shape of a hexagonal pattern that flows to become a handcrafted inlay within the wooden cabinetry.

 

 

The design of the lights forms an important second layer and are composed of a mix of directional slot led lights and free flowing 3M large custom fabricated hexagonal ones that flow across the space.

The third layer is the flush storage wall behind the reception with a free-flowing CNC milled pattern that shows the different formulas that the company makes.

 

 

Overall the interior design focuses on space, simplicity and details creating a mix of tones, materiality and craftsmanship.
