An office, like a home, has to be embellished in its feel and lively in its design. This is exactly what Ravi Shankar Architects has done at the Saffire Office in Khar, Mumbai. Using wooden furniture in an intermittent manner, adding shade variances to give a natural, authentic look. An added advantage is that of low maintenance and long durability of wood. Democratising space is an essential feature of this office due to its collaborative work area, which enables communication and transparency. Concentrated work is also viable with less acoustic and visual distraction due to the transparent glass walls.
