Hello Yellow, Workspace Commercial Design

Architecture Firm: Humming Tree Architects: Mohammed Afnan & Arun Shekar Category: Commercial Plot Area: 1100 sq.ft Buildup Area: 2200 sq.ft Year of Built: 2020 Location: Calicut, Kerala Architecture Team: Najala, Yaseen, Hashim, Premjith Client: Limotex Photography: Justin Sebastian The brief was extremely sharp; that the space was to have two lives. The building should adorn an enjoy-work ethos and to have an exceedingly dynamic space, with heaps of daylight. The client was after a minimal, outlandish look, so â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;we took inspirations from commercial and art gallery spaces, as opposed to typical office interiorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, says Afnan & Arun

Limotex is a Construction / Builders company with 4o years of experience in the industry. As we were approached for our quirky taste in design, this workspace has to be distinguished from other builderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office which is typically designed keeping exposed materials in mind. Our concept was to have an office space which has a design language of contemporary art galleries. We did not want to make something having complex aesthetics. The office has a linear planning of about 1010 sq.ft, a small workspace, with an amazing sun kissed reception area facing west. Next to it is the waiting lounge with Prussian blue couch dividing the small workspace consisting of 4 workstation table.

Ahead of it is the cabin for manager and a beautiful, mirror reflecting conference room bringing the outdoor greens in making the most of pleasant ambient daylight, which in turn saves a lot of electricity.Working with a concept of having this mustard yellow on all 3 dimensions was a huge tough call and one needs to be bold when making decisions. However our fav, blue Jeff Koon’s dog, in the reception, balances out the color perfectly, making it look like it’s just straight out of a story book. As soon as one enters the office, they recieve a punch of reception area with all it’s 3 dimensions dipped in yellow, this gives a visual delight, a sense of happy summerness. Moving in, the palette slowly shifts between blacks, whites and a glimpse of green giving the workspace depth. Over all the space just elevates the mood as we happen to say “Hello Yellow!“

The layout is intentionally fragmented allowing open landscaped spaces to be interspersed with the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s learning spaces. The entire school opens towards a multipurpose playground & athletics track on the northern side. The entire circulation is through open naturally ventilated corridors traversing & skirting the focal semi sheltered landscaped court in the centre. Angled vertical walls act as sun breakers to reduce heat gain from the east, west & south sides generating cooler internal spaces

The complete electrical power requirement is generated by the residual energy of a cement plant nearby. In addition, the entire water is recycled & reused. The building by its design is thus extremely energy efficient.
