Celebrating the Heritage
A Century-old pole house at the old heritage city of Ahmedabad was proposed to be converted into a small-scale office set up without disturbing structure, floor, and walls due to Heritage Value and age-old construction materials.
This had already undergone a transformation from residence to a warehouse for storing FMCG products. The design team converted this house into a pattern-rich office interior set up keeping the Heritage Value and Emotional attachments of the client intact.
View of a lifetime
This space has its own importance as it is situated very near to a Century-old Jain ‘Derasar’ with its own religious importance.
Views of a lifetime to CEO and Staff were offered by orienting CEO cabin and Staff workstations to get an amazing view of ‘shikhara’ of this Jain temple all time.
Design Approach
“We provided a Minimalistic layout to clients with exterior views as well as visual connectivity with interlinked CEO cabin, Staff area, Vestibule, and a Meeting room.”
Total about 1000 SFT of footprint has been detailed out with a simple yet elegant-looking material palette.

Promoting Material in its purest form
Wood grains, Concrete textures, Kotah flooring with marble inlay, and rustic upholstery are showcased in their purest form in all areas. Fully customized Interiors and detailing were offered following the Vaastu principles.
Due to sentimental attachment to the space, the client desired a workplace with ‘Out of the BOX’ Interiors breaking away from typical corporate office image and having a heritage touch which was achieved to a great extent.
