The Sony office, nestled in the urban milieu of Navi Mumbai, exudes a young vigor, while restraining the corporate ethos. The fabrication of a movie-inspired office sets an enthusing challenge for the designers. Interiors embellish a vibrant character communicating a better design vocabulary; a quirky yet corporate code is attained by the industrial style interiors.
Envisaging the work culture of the young and creative employees, the design weaves an eloquent narrative of elegance that gleams energy, encourages productivity and portrays the charisma of the Company.
Sony DADC is a division of Sony, and focuses on the digitisation of content for entertainment. The brief for their head office project was simple, to dismantle the seriousness of an older corporate structure and bring about an environment of bonding and creativity. As commercial interior designers on this project, Ashleys’ also recognised the need to emphasise the subtle layers of hierarchy in the workplace.
This mission was executed by purposeful planning of the interior space. A crisp, black and white colour theme with a contemporary open plan design gives this office a fresh, energetic vibe. However, the desks for managers and mid-managers, while open and approachable, conveyed the hierarchy of the team.
The basic colour palette extends through the office, with whitewashed exposed brick walls, all windows framed by sleek black grids, and grey flooring. Suspended lighting makes a refreshing change from usual corporate lighting, while framed movie artwork hangs on key walls, the only sign of the entertainment nature of the brand.
