In a move to streamline operations and enhance collaboration, this Global Technology Company set forth on a journey to consolidate a distributed workforce into a new home in Bengaluru. Leveraging our global partnership, we worked with the client to create a 400,000 sq ft transformative space.

Bridging design and purpose to demonstrate vision

Our team’s design inspiration stemmed from the company’s culture of interconnectedness and broad thinking. We embraced these core principles with a concept that promotes navigation through an open layout and a cohesive experience through thematic design. Each floor’s theme – Ocean, Forest, Sky – defines a unique identity and incorporates local culture, shaping environments for various activities. We used specific materials and patterns to cater to different needs, from cool blue tones evoking tranquility to celestial motifs inspiring imagination and green hues to promote vitality and rejuvenation.

Workplace design for connectivity

Each level of the campus caters to a diverse range of activities and working styles. The layout is open, adaptive and flexible, featuring glass-walled meeting rooms for transparency. Meeting rooms of various sizes balance ample collaboration areas and breakout spots for impromptu conversations. Meeting the diverse needs of each departments, the space accommodates future growth and change while fostering connections.

Creating a meaningful journey

On the entrance to the campus, a spacious lobby welcomes users. The ground floor includes a cafeteria and various support spaces like quiet rooms and HR areas, setting the tone for collaboration and community. We designed this as a large space with multiple dining options, that can accommodate up to 200 people in a town hall setting.

Levels 1-3 and 6-9 are reserved for expansion, while Levels 4-5 house laboratories for the R&D department. Level10 and Level11 feature a variety of workspaces and facilities, providing flexible, modular environments that cater to diverse work styles. We integrated advanced technology to facilitate the booking of workstations and meeting rooms, enhancing the experience of flexible work seats and social areas.
