Designed by Ar. Shashi, Chief Architect at Space Studio Chennai, the ABS Corporate Office seamlessly integrates maritime themes with modern functionality. Its maritime-inspired facade, biophilic elements, passive cooling techniques, and minimalist nautical interior create a cutting-edge workspace. The inclusion of advanced technology makes it a leading example of corporate office design in the marine industry. She shares more details with SURFACES REPORTER (SR):
Facade Design
The ABS office facade showcases nautical elegance with sleek lines resembling a luxury yacht.
Crafted from polished metal, glass panels, and composite materials, it features wave-like patterns and undulating surfaces that highlight the building’s maritime connection and create a striking visual impact.
Biophilic Design
To enhance the workplace, the firm has integrated biophilic elements like lush green walls, indoor plants, and natural materials.
Large windows provide natural light and views of the water, connecting occupants to the marine environment while boosting well-being and productivity.
Passive Cooling
To enhance sustainability, the firm has used passive cooling techniques to reduce energy use and ensure comfort.
The design features natural ventilation, shading devices to minimize heat gain, and reflective materials on the facade to improve energy efficiency.
Minimalist Interior
The interior design embraces minimalism with a neutral color scheme accented by marine-inspired blues and greens. The flexible layout includes open-plan areas, private meeting rooms, and breakout spaces, supported by ergonomic furniture and adjustable workstations.
Subtle maritime themes are integrated through ship and marine artwork, nautical decor, and custom fixtures made from polished wood, brass, and rope.
Technology Integration
To meet the marine industry's needs, the office features cutting-edge technology, including specialized communication systems, virtual reality training simulators, and advanced data analytics tools to support informed decision-making and innovation.
The ABS corporate office blends these elements to reflect the marine industry’s spirit while offering a modern, functional, and inspiring workspace. It embodies ABS's commitment to excellence and sets a new standard for corporate office design.
