warm terracotta hues adorn design ni dukaan's sculptural office interior in india

Design ni Dukaan merges Art and Architecture within Office Space

Design ni Dukaan, led by designer Veeram Shah, redefines office spaces by embracing materiality as a pivotal design process. Focusing on sensory aspects, the project, located in Gandhidham, Gujarat, India, unfolds as a gradual assembly of elements and functional sculptures, forming a warm workspace and emphasizing increased productivity. The design preserves the original architectural structure, utilizing its form as an aesthetic anchor while consciously welcoming imperfections. A minimal material palette of teak, brown glass, and terracotta micro concrete permeates the project, fostering a seamless integration between art and architecture. Art inserts take center stage, blurring boundaries between functionality and aesthetic expression. Notable interventions include a folding door with modernist-inspired patterns at the entrance, a layered glass mural, and a sculptural reception table.

sinuous curves outline the interior of the office

The waiting area features sinuous curves and a skylight, envisioned as the central point permeating light throughout the office. Each desk, uniquely crafted in-house, reflects a dialogue with discerning clients, ensuring a harmonious blend of vision and execution. Executive cabins showcase layers of gray micro concrete, punctuated with wooden accents. Rutva Joshi’s custom artwork adorns the cabins while pattern-making, inspired by Ar. Burle Marx, is manifested in large partitions using printed fabric. The holistic approach extends to the design of lights, loose furniture, office chairs, handle details, and the company logo. Design ni Dukaan envisions workspaces as living entities that inspire and elevate the human experience, transcending the ordinary to embrace the extraordinary.
