Midway through the installation of their main office, our client seized the opportunity to expand—transforming an adjacent area into a vibrant breakaway space designed for flexibility, relaxation, and deep focus.
We refurbished an existing bar, aligning it with the brand’s aesthetic and creating a dynamic social hub. Adjacent to it, a new games area and stadium-style seating were introduced—perfect for team gatherings, presentations, or casual collaboration.
The former kitchen area was reimagined into a quiet working zone. Designed for individuals or small teams, these private pods offer a tranquil alternative to the buzzing main office. Each space carries a planetary theme, enriched with handpicked memorabilia and collectibles that spark creativity.
Warm, dimmed lighting and cozy finishes encourage introspection and focused brainstorming—a true escape within the workplace.
Nicknamed “the watering hole,” this area quickly became a go-to space for coffee breaks, informal chats, or a craft beer at the end of the day. Blending utility with character, this design creates a seamless transition between productivity and pause.
This breakaway space perfectly complements the high-energy main office, offering a balanced, creative, and inspiring environment. It’s a reminder that thoughtful office interior design isn’t just about desks and lighting—it’s about building culture, well-being, and meaningful interaction.
