SAHIL YOUSAF sahilyzf@gmail.comAn international insurance company requested us to propose a design for their upcoming headquarters. This was a pitch competition the my team was a part of, we were requested to take an area of close to 85000 SqFt. This was challenging because of the various guidlines and social inclusivity that was at this company’s core values. Since the client was from a social wellbeing background we had proposed 2 design decisions. One of which was a subtle scandinavian design that proposes the idea of openness and calmness. Whereas the other provided an opportunity to bring forth the local culture of the region and therefore making this building unique to the location.CORPORATE OFFICE INTERIORTRIVANDRUM, INDIA Interiors
