IIFL Offices – Pune
Zyeta Studios design the offices of Indian financial company IIFL, located in Pune, India.
It was quite an experience to design the IIFL upcoming office at Pune. The company has established hierarchy across the employees but at the same time, it also breaks it to produce a cohesive environment. The challenge was to produce a workspace which is in sync with their environment. The two side glazing in the given site, gave us the solution to our planning. It was quite an experience to design the IIFL upcoming office at Pune.

The challenge was to produce a workspace which is in sync with their environment. The two side glazing in the given site, gave us the solution to our planning. In order to create a group of workspaces which follows the office hierarchy, the enclosed spaces were designed along the existing solid wall of the entire office by breaking the opaqueness by the partitions. It’s the references to repetitive patterns in these spaces reappearing. They have been kept minimal to cause no disturbance while working. The added advantage of placing the workspaces in this fashion was that it allowed them natural lighting during daytime. The design solution delivered a small but modern office without any impression of compactness, bringing inspiration and satisfaction in everyday work life.
• Image 1 – The sense of repetition has been carried on to the floor and roof surfaces by using a repetitive pattern for the roof lighting and carpet pattern. This gives a distinct character to the pathways and helps in segregating the band from workspace.
• Image 2- The presence of a double height space influenced our idea of developing it into a terrace. Next to it came up the Director’s cabin. Making this terrace private, only accessible to the director and his guests
• Image 3 – Located along the existing solid walls, it is also completely segregated from the main workspaces. This reduces all kinds of visual and audible disturbances from the meetings.
• Image 4 – It is not just the director’s cabin which has access to green areas. In small amount, but present along the walkways, every employee is in presence of greenery
• Image 5 – The row of workspaces end up to social spaces, library. In complete contrast of the chairs and tables lined in the grid, they are designed with informal seating and abundant greenery.
