Bright colours and bold graphics make up the language of architecture employed in this modern Mumbai office space. Designed the design firm Kamat & Rozario Architecture, this 3200 square feet of space is a trip down memory lane, not to college days and television drama but to the ‘tech fun’ of the1980’s, when the Japanese introduced to the world the 8-bit era of computer games.
To cater to the countless conversations and interactive moments between the various factions of the company, the team, led by Smruti Kamat and Lester Rozario employed a design strategy wherein the peripheral length of the volume was allocated to workstations. An exposed ceiling and glazed walls give the long strips a spacious, airy and casual appeal; add to this pops of bright colours and we have the exact casual, interactive environment which the client wanted.
There is a perfect blend of functional, aesthetic and creative architecture in these spaces. Here, the theme of 8 bit games is interlaced into the every nook and cranny defining the character of the architectural language, and takes us back briefly to the simple joys of games like ‘Tetris’ and ‘Invaders’.
