Design Narrative:
We always address the projects by breaking it down in 3 aspects:
Functionality – what it needs to do for the people
Design – how it can look its best for trained designer eyes
Budget – how it can meet the client’s budget while address functionality and design.
 
The client was attracted to our cotemporary and modern design feel, wanted a clean look so we made sure to follow this narrative for the office design. The client has back health issues, so we were mindful of keeping the heights comfortable for her to use while sitting or standing. The printer height was determined to be best to use if seated at approximately desk height, so we created the lower corner for it.

Cabinet boxes and doors are Santorini, a light linen textured cool white, with Castle Oak, a grey taupe woodgrain TFL on the shelves, doors and applied gables. 2 thicknesses of panels were used.
