The Client

The Biophilic design approach

As the name signifies, Yash Technologies has success written all over it. So, growth is a given for the firm that has 30+ offices and development centers in India and abroad.

For their newly extended facility in Pune, India, the company wanted a personality that conveyed a fresh design imprint while maintaining continuity with its existing character. Concept Consilio, Mumbai was chosen for the project.

The focal point of the design was the central hub that connected all corners of the building from which all the visual and functional aspects of the design grew out from, organically.

Concept Consilio’s team conducted a detailed study of the client’s history, aesthetic sense and expectations. After discussions, the team narrowed down on “Biophilia” as the design framework. Biophilia is about humankind’s innate connection with Nature and the quest here was to create a sustainable work environment that led to enhanced well-being, reduced stress and clarity of thought.

“Our new development center is designed to seamlessly integrate people, places, technology and reflect our collaborative culture. We choose flooring material that is contemporary in style, easy to maintain and sustainable, which enables our staff to work in a conducive environment. Shaw Contract fulfilled all these requirements.”

Flooring: Partner in the design theme

The floor is always the first point of tactile interaction and hence the material had to be in tune with the Biophilic theme. Given the high reputation of Shaw Contract carpet tiles for sustainability, the design team chose vibrant coloured, geometrically shaped tiles from collections that included Configure (for collaboration areas) and Vertical Layer (for work station areas).

In conversation with Nature

Amidst rapidly urbanizing and soulless office spaces, Yash Technologies’ new office stands out for its communion with Nature and its restorative properties.

TMShaw Contract’s Cradle-to-Cradle certification, impressive sustainable features, wide variety of textures and the fantastic underfoot comfort, contributed solidly to Concept Consilio’s design objectives of the project.
