EMBRACING THE MONDAY BLUES

Imagine starting your workday in a tranquil setting, surrounded by lush greenery and filtered natural light. The gentle rustling of leaves and the occasional birdsong create a soothing backdrop, instantly transporting you to a realm of calm and focus. In the fast-paced world of modern office life, where deadlines loom and stress levels soar, finding solace in one’s workspace can be a rare luxury. Yet, the visionary minds at Workshop Inc, led by Keta and Varun Shah, have defied the norms by crafting an architectural masterpiece that redefines the very essence of an office space. Amidst the bustling metropolis of Bengaluru, their latest project stands as a testament to their unwavering commitment to seamlessly blending nature and modern design, creating a serene oasis where productivity thrives.

From the moment you set foot on the premises, a sense of tranquility envelops you, inviting you to embark on a journey that celebrates the symbiosis between the built environment and the natural world. “Situated next to a reserved forest area, the existing site contains old warehouses, to be demolished over time, as the new buildings are constructed in two phases. After mapping the boundaries of the old and new buildings, the office was placed so that it can be retained up to the project’s completion. The architectural concept stemmed from the idea of creating a space within a lush green environment, reflecting the location of the prosed development surrounded by the reserved forest areas,” reveals the designer duo Keta and Varun.
