Respect for people and nature are the fundamental operating principles, which is reflected in many of the social and environmental policies of Oriflame. The same fundamentals were captured in planning the interiors and exterior for their India’s head office in New Delhi.
The architects undertook the design of the facade and approximately 21130sq ft of interior space which encompasses four floors and one basement. The building houses the service centre for consultants and the corporate office. The front blocks of the ground and basement combined are developed as the service centre. Rest of the building was planned for their corporate office.
The feedback given by the clients clearly stated that the office space needs to be unconventional with more spaces for them to associate.
They recommended creating a designated quiet zone where co-workers can go to conduct phone calls without disturbing or being disturbed by others in the office. This reduces distractions from mobile phones and provides privacy within the open spaces. Also, no designated workstations for staff was needed .This maintains flexibility and interest in seating manner, where anybody can sit anywhere anytime. All cabins have a small meeting table inside so that the cabin can be used for meeting in the absence of the staff.
The brief stipulated that the interior environment should embody the brand in physical space. Every individual design element and feature, as well as the overall interior composition, should convey the brand identity. The Swedish origins of the company play a vital role in colour scheme, textures and overall look and feel. Openness, green, quality, technology, safety and innovation are few of the Swedish characteristics. Brand colours which are mostly pastel and mix of warm materials such as wood have been used. Social, casual, inspiring, modern and vibrant were the brand key-words for the new office and service centre design.
