Office for MKM Group, New Delhi by Studio Lotus

The corporate head office for the MKM group works on the idea of transparency, and a shared workspace.

This arrangement offers a feeling of privacy and yet retaining transparency. The cool palette of grey stained cement board, poured concrete and glass becomes a frame for the sculpted furniture in CNC cut stacked plywood and hand cast custom designed, brass suspended lamps. - Studio Lotus
