designed by mumbai-based firm sameep padora and associates, the 'indigo deli', a delicatessen and dine-in restaurant transforms 
a mundane retail space within the palladium mall in mumbai, india. denying the rigid geometries of the mall context, an undulating
and interlocking structure swoops above the tables within the dining area. combining the qualities of a dome and surface, the hybrid form
employs the structural strengths of both applications. the wooden armature is formed with rough textured plywood, contrasting the
sleek copper lighting fixtures and built in details.

the design-build project began as a parametric exploration during the design process. manufacturing of the unique sections
began with CNC routing and systematic assemblage. once connected, the element was hung from the overhead RCC slab
from threaded steel rods which have been affixed into a double thickness vertical plywood panel. this connection allows for 
accurate leveling through the entire length of the interior.

The Way Workplaces Should Look Like – New Showcase

The offices of Google, Facebook, Twitter or other major tech corporations or even advertising agencies look a little bit sci-fi for most people and are imprinted in a person’s mind as an ideal, but the ideal is unreachable. Instead of dreaming about those luxurious offices, you should check out more down to Earth ones that can inspire you to do something similar at your company’s office.

Whether you hire an interior designer to do this kind of work for you or you do it yourself, with the examples in this article, you’ll have a guideline of what you can achieve with a little bit of imagination and creativity.

For those who want to see the amazing and really expensive offices of big companies, I have an older article called Best 38 I’d-like-to-work-in-that-place offices which sets the bar really high for smaller companies who aspire at those kind of offices.
