Innovative Workspaces & Commercial Architecture
We design commercial environments that act as ecosystems for productivity. From startup offices with bold identities to large-scale mixed-use developments, our focus is on shaping skylines and everyday work experiences.
Echelon 8 is more than a mixed-use building; it's an ecosystem of exchange and clarity. Its sculptural glass entry form acts as both structure and symbol, inviting, framing, and defining movement to facilitate human connection.
This 22-storey, 300,000 sq. ft. marvel in Mumbai seamlessly blends commercial vibrancy with residential charm. It is more than just architecture; it’s a testament to our commitment to creating innovative, community-focused urban living spaces.
We believe work can be exciting, so we gave this 3200 sq. ft. Mumbai office a whimsical twist. The conference room is inspired by the iconic UK telephone booth, infusing a playful and memorable element into the daily work environment.
A symphony of cobalt whispers and crimson dreams. This office features a conference room that echoes the charm of a red telephone booth, creating a sanctuary where creativity dials up its brightest colors and every moment sparks with possibility.
For the RGB Office, we focused on continuity and refined design. The seamless IPS flooring merges with the walls, and custom hanging lights with graceful curves create a cohesive and elegant workspace that was a joy to create.
This modern meeting room in a Mumbai office is defined by its glass partitions and a bold blue accent wall. The design fosters a sense of calm and focus, creating a sophisticated space for collaboration and client meetings.
The reception area of this Mumbai headquarters was designed to make a strong first impression. A serene blue wall, modern furnishings, and the company logo create a welcoming yet professional atmosphere that sets the tone for the entire office.

We embraced a raw, industrial aesthetic for this meeting room in a luxury Mumbai showroom. Instead of drywall, we used corrugated tin for walls and partitions, creating a space that is as bold and edgy as the ideas discussed within it.
A throwback to our design for the digital startup Chillr in Mumbai, created before open workspaces were a trend. This 2800 sq. ft. office was ahead of its time, breaking rules with its collaborative layout and vibrant energy.
About Innovative Workspaces & Commercial Hubs
When we approach a commercial workspace, we move beyond standard floor plans to identify the friction points where people lose energy and turn them into collaborative hubs. Whether it is using corrugated tin to create an edgy, industrial partition or integrating whimsical elements like a telephone booth conference room, we introduce structural interventions that force creative interaction. This ensures your office functions not just as a place of work, but as a tangible asset that reflects your brand identity.
Architecture in a commercial context is about managing flow and perception. We treat every office as a narrative-driven project, where the movement of employees, the placement of lighting, and the zoning of private versus public areas are calculated to optimize human connection.
Our Commercial Design Approach
- Ecosystem Design: For larger projects, like mixed-use developments, we focus on master planning that integrates external circulation with internal functionality. We prioritize natural light and structural clarity to ensure the building itself serves as a tool for efficiency.
- Whimsical Utility: A workspace should not feel like a sterile box. We incorporate playfulness, such as custom-designed breakout zones or unconventional material choices, to keep energy levels high throughout the workday.
- Brand Integration: Your headquarters should speak your language. We translate corporate values into physical form, from the reception area's first impression to the layout of executive suites, ensuring the architecture reinforces your company culture.
Expertise and Technical Scope
Beyond aesthetics, we provide comprehensive technical support to ensure your commercial space is built to last:
- Strategic Zoning: Optimizing floor plates for maximum efficiency, including HVAC and fire-safety integration.
- Facade Engineering: Designing building envelopes that are visually striking while remaining thermally efficient.
- Vendor Coordination: Managing specialized installations for complex facades or large-scale landscape integration.
We have experience delivering these solutions across diverse scales, from agile startups looking for a disruptive office layout to corporations requiring robust infrastructure planning. Our design process starts with deep listening—understanding your business goals before a single line is drawn.
