EaseMyTrip Headquarters: A Beach-Inspired Office Design
We reimagined the EaseMyTrip headquarters in Gurgaon, balancing high-energy zones with calm, biophilic spaces that tell the company's travel-centric story through architecture.
The main conference room features whimsical cloud lighting over a sleek marble table, set against a deep blue carpet. This room is designed to be the creative heart of the office, where big ideas can take flight.
A symmetrical view of the conference room highlights the length of the marble table and the arrangement of the cloud lights. The design emphasizes scale and clean lines, creating a sense of order and possibility.
The hallway view into the conference room reveals how the space integrates with the rest of the office. Glass walls maintain a sense of openness, while frosted lower panels provide privacy for meetings.
The MD's cabin is a study in modern luxury, featuring a mix of textures from the marble desk and leather Eames lounge chair to the paneled walls. It's a space that commands respect while remaining comfortable and inviting.
This angle showcases the elegant marble desk with its gold-finished base, paired with soft visitor chairs. The custom lighting fixture adds a sculptural element, completing the room's sophisticated aesthetic.
Natural light floods the executive cabin, highlighting the warm wood flooring and the comfortable seating area. This corner is perfect for informal discussions or a moment of quiet reflection during a busy day.
The open workspace is defined by a striking blue acoustic ceiling with a wave pattern, enhancing the beach theme. This design choice is both aesthetic and functional, helping to absorb sound in a busy, collaborative environment.
I designed the workstation layout for optimal flow and efficiency. Clean white desks are paired with ergonomic chairs and separated by light blue partitions, providing a sense of personal space within the open plan.
A key feature of the office is this corridor, where a custom shelving unit proudly displays the company's awards. The flowing wave pattern on the floor guides movement through the space, connecting different zones seamlessly.
The entrance corridor immediately introduces the brand identity with a three dimensional logo and graphic wall art. Potted plants and curved ceiling details create a welcoming and dynamic first impression for visitors and employees.
About Project Spotlight: EaseMyTrip Headquarters
We used wave-patterned acoustic baffles across the ceiling to visually represent the sea, which also serves a practical purpose: dampening noise in an open-plan office. This design choice lets your team focus without feeling boxed in by the usual cubicle constraints.
Merging Brand Identity with Function
Designing for a travel brand like EaseMyTrip required us to move beyond standard office layouts. The goal was to instill a sense of freedom and movement. We introduced a subtle beach theme that flows through the space, using soft blue color palettes and floor patterns that guide employees naturally from the entrance to their workstations.
The Biophilic Approach
Nature has a profound impact on productivity. By integrating indoor planter boxes and a rooftop terrace filled with bougainvillea, we introduced biophilic elements that improve air quality and help reduce daily stress. The terrace is not just an aesthetic addition; it serves as a functional break-out zone where employees can step away from their screens.
Materiality and Luxury in Execution
For the executive areas, we pivoted from the light, airy aesthetic of the main floor to a more grounded luxury. We utilized Italian marble for desk surfaces, gold-finish accents, and paneled wall treatments to create a space that commands respect.
Technical Details
- Acoustics: The acoustic ceiling baffles were custom-fitted to absorb sound, addressing the common issue of high noise levels in collaborative open-plan offices.
- Lighting: We incorporated linear profile lights and cloud-shaped fixtures to maintain consistent illumination without harsh glare.
- Layout: Our spatial planning focused on circulation, ensuring that the transition between collaborative pods and private cabins feels seamless.
