SAV Architecture + Design studio shaped Unilab’s Mumbai office for an understated, bright and elegant feel, finds Shristi Nangalia
London and Mumbai based SAV Architecture + Design designed an open-plan and minimal workspace interiors for Unilab, a pharmaceuticals and chemicals company, in North Mumbai within a new office block.
When Unilab Chemicals & Pharmaceuticals were looking to design their offices in North Mumbai within a new office block, the company gave London- and Mumbai-based SAV Architecture + Design a clear brief. They wanted a space with a contemporary and international appeal, one that would provide a calm working oasis within the chaotic city.
SAV worked on the brief and proposed an open-plan, minimalistic design that focused on flexibility, transparency, tactility and would bring natural light and freshness into the interiors. For the lighting, furniture and flooring patterns, the design team took inspiration from the forms of chemical compositions and conceptualised these products in a manner that would create a layered and textured design, showcasing the different formulas Unilab uses to make its products.
Inside the 120sqm workspace, a meeting room is placed close to the entrance, while the two company directors’ offices are arranged at the end of the edge and a modular working space is in the middle. The rooms and directors’ offices are partitioned using clear glass to create end-to-end transparency that maintains an overall light sense of space throughout the office.
