The office features an innovative use of drywall panels, arranged in striking diamond-like geometric protrusions that catch the eye and spark curiosity. These angled panels are not merely decorative; they serve a functional purpose by displaying a variety of drywall finishes. As clients enter the space, they are immediately immersed in a living catalog of textures and finishes, allowing them to experience firsthand the possibilities that drywall can offer.
The workspace is a two-story, open and airy environment, flooded with natural light that enhances the materials' visual impact. The design encourages an open flow and connectivity, with ample space for client meetings and team collaborations. The abundance of natural light, coupled with the strategic use of drywall finishes, creates a welcoming and inspiring atmosphere that reflects the innovative spirit of the company.
This project transforms drywall from a background material into a defining feature, demonstrating its potential as a key element in interior design. The result is an office space that not only serves as a functional workplace but also as a showcase of craftsmanship, inviting visitors to appreciate the artistry behind every wall.
