The art gradient

Concept Note: Sophistication Beyond the Neon

For The Timeless Atrium, we defied the typical co-working stereotype of loud prints and neon lights. The brief called for a space that was sophisticated and sustainable—both in aesthetics and operations. We crafted a “neutral-heavy” environment where earthy tones and raw textures foster a sense of serene focus. By adhering to green building standards and prioritizing operational sustainability, we created a high-traffic haven that feels as calm as it is vibrant.

Key Highlights

Glare-Conscious Orientation: Following a rigorous site analysis of the linear rectangular floor plate, we strategically positioned workstations so employees face away from the north-facing glazing. This maximizes natural light while eliminating screen glare, ensuring all-day visual comfort.
The “Floating” Reception: By tucking the reception into a corner, we created an unobstructed visual axis from the entrance to the city views. This “unlocked” floor plan gives members an immediate sense of openness and professional scale upon entry.
Columns as Island Sanctuaries: Rather than treating structural columns as obstacles, we used them to carve out “Island Seating.” These enclaves serve as private meeting nooks and a viewing gallery for art, turning structural necessity into an architectural asset.
Artistic Acoustics: In a nod to our Technical Integrity pillar, we utilized heavy-textured rugs as wall-mounted artwork. These pieces double as high-performance acoustic panels, absorbing sound during peak hours without sacrificing the minimalist aesthetic.
Operational Sustainability: True to the client’s vision, the site integrates energy-efficient lighting and water-saving CP/sanitary fixtures. Every material choice was vetted against green building standards to ensure a lower environmental footprint.
The Bar Focal Point: We transformed a central plumbing shaft into a sophisticated bar backdrop. This move elegantly hides the technical infrastructure while creating a visual barricade that keeps the “back-of-house” logistics discreetly out of sight.
