Mahogany Bay

Approaching the 10th floor office, the transparency of the glass partition draws one’s gaze into the space and onto the sinuous panelling in the waiting lounge. The linearity of the space governs the layout of the functions. The office basks in a deep mahogany colour forging an intriguing identity for the space. Originating at the bare ceiling slab, the deep mahogany colour gently trickles down onto the walls, storage units, screens and flooring. 

Tucked behind a perforated screen is the reception that looks onto the waiting area. The snug discussion table facilitates spontaneous conversations and brief one-on-one meetings. The micro-concrete finish of the flooring depicts a stark transition from light to dark grey, which further climbs the wall and creates well-defined zones within the office. 

Clad in acoustical panelling, the Editing Room forms the powerhouse of the project, while the adjacent Meeting Room forms the heart as the hub for team meetings, screenplay discussions, auditions and dialogue rehearsals. The mahogany red-stained micro-concrete flooring infuses a touch of drama to the minimalist aesthetic of the space. The grey terrazzo table top in the meeting room, workstations and cabins complement the textural palette of the space. Writable surfaces in the form of back-painted glass in the meeting room and workstation area encourages team-work and collaboration. 

The director’s cabin, at the rear end of the office features grid panelling as a backdrop to the terrazzo desk. The office for the production house presents itself as a business card for the clients with an architecture that is expressive, opinionated and bold.
