In the heart of Delhi’s vibrant Connaught Place, the Vandana building witnesses the city’s ceaseless energy. Amidst this chaos, TWI embarked on a journey to transform a relic into a haven. Tasked with crafting an ambience of refined elegance and olfactory allure with a design sensibility tailored for a perfume office, the design intent was to create more than just a workplace: a sanctuary for perfume enthusiasts and artisans alike.

As one steps through the door, a captivating entrance display unit, elegantly crafted in a striking circular shape, welcomes you. Cradled within the curvature of the unit, exquisite fragrance bottles catch one’s eye. Just as every note in a perfume has its place, every department within the office is thoughtfully positioned to optimize workflow and synergy.

The design is straightforward, with furniture and fixtures chosen for their simple shapes and subtle elegance. The aim was to create a clutter-free space that emphasises functionality. As one navigates through the office, the angular partitions guide the path, clearly defining walkways and delineating zones while maintaining an open and spacious feel. Clean lines and geometric shapes create an architectural focal point that draws the eye and sparks curiosity, inviting exploration and discovery. In addition to their aesthetic appeal, the angular partitions are designed to optimize functionality, providing privacy where needed without sacrificing connectivity or natural light.
