About Contemporary Workspace Office
Contemporary Workspace is an office interior located in a developing area near Chandigarh. The project covers an open floor plan of about 8000 square feet, with circulation cores, columns and windows already in place. A brutalist material palette of exposed concrete, brick, wood and metal is used throughout. A monolithic concrete floor binds the workspace, while high ceilings, wooden blinds and a statement ceiling installation guide the eye. Glass partitions keep the areas connected, and yellow accents add interest to the working surfaces.
Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- Located in a rapidly developing area near Chandigarh, the office space for ACME commanded a modern, forward take on functionality and experience. The use of spatial elements, materials and finishes played a vital role in bringing the entire workspace together.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- The site given to us was an open floor plan having an area of 8000 sq ft with circulation cores, columns and windows already in place, while rest being an opportunity for us.

- Production Technology
- The contrast in detail directs the eye throughout the office space. A monolithic concrete floor binds the workspace as the eye travels from the high ceilings, classic wooden blinds and designer furniture- all the way through to the dynamic and statement ceiling installation. Even the stereotypically functional open office has been treated with a statement ceiling design that gives the space character and the colour ‘yellow’ that creates interest in the working surfaces.
- Project Duration
- The project started in January 2023 and was finished by December 2023
- Operation Flow
- Studio Vasaka defies the stereotypical ‘plastic’ office interior by implementing a brutalist natural material palette at the ACME office. Throughout the office, one can spot varied use of exposed concrete, brick, wood and metal in a sleek, modernist and yet statement fashion. The partition walls are mostly glass, making the workspace feel interconnected despite the functional separation of the spaces. Exposed ceilings effectively utilize the on-site height. As sunlight gushes through the windows, the entire play of volumes, surfaces and materials comes to life.
- Inspiration
- Slightly rustic, yet incredibly contemporary, the theme of this office echoes the colors, appearance, and rich palette of the city of Chandigarh.
An ode to the brutalist palette, it inspires familiarity and comfort in locals while representing the city to an international audience. - Image Credits
