This lush welcome sets the tone for a space infused with natural textures and colour harmony, amplified by an angular ceiling structure travelling from the entrance hall connecting the executive wing and the projects wing, folding up the wall and becoming the reception desk.
Custom lighting and design continuity further enhance the cohesive look, balancing aesthetics with practicality.
The space is designed for collaboration and invites employees and guests to explore and find moments of surprise and delight .
The executive wing features a less formal waiting zone, a VIP meeting lounge, meeting spaces that allow people to gather, a capacity to host visitors for larger meetings and dynamic discussions.
