With a small floor area of 330 square feet, KNE office was one of the pet projects for the TAC team. Having a tight budget and a strict timeline to follow, the project was an interesting exercise in exploring design permutations in a typical small office space in the city.
Architects: The Architecture Company
Team: Rohit Walimbe, Manasvi Bachhav, and Kulsum Tambawala
Location: India
Being a major Indian partner of a German engineering company, the client appreciated clean details, functionality and space optimization for his growing office. TAC was happy to deliver a space that did exactly that, with ample work space and record storage without any clutter.
The clean material palette with black floors, white walls and glass makes one perceive the space to be larger, lighter and more open. Avoiding any kind of cabinet handles helped create a crisp look for the file storage above the workstations. With subtle branding techniques, TAC was able to customize the minimal look of the space which is complimented by an off the shelf peppy love seat.
