Client
A compact civil engineer’s office in Indore shaped through material honesty, narrative elements, and a strong connection to the profession.
Design Approach
The office is designed as a compact yet efficient workspace, where layout and material choices reflect clarity, precision, and purposeful planning.
Material Language
Mild steel is used extensively across furniture and details, expressing strength, durability, and the structural nature of the profession.
Narrative Layer
Construction tools, machinery references, and framed plans are integrated as design elements, turning functional objects into part of the spatial identity.
Colour & Balance
A palette of grey, yellow, and sage green balances industrial character with warmth, introducing contrast while maintaining a cohesive environment.
Spatial Walkthrough
Reception & Waiting
A structured yet welcoming entry space defined by clean lines, textured walls, and subtle references to engineering through graphics and detailing.
Workstations
Efficiently planned desks and storage ensure clarity in movement and usability, supporting focused work within a compact footprint.
Cabin Spaces
Cabins are designed with a balance of warmth and structure, using wood, muted tones, and controlled lighting to create a focused environment.
Detail & Expression
Custom elements such as engraved panels, framed equipment, and sculptural objects reinforce the narrative of construction and engineering.
I approached her to design my office, with one clear brief — it had to feel modern while still reflecting the nature of my work as a civil engineer.
The space was compact, yet Chandni’s planning was absolutely spot-on. Fitting in a reception, staff area, pantry, washroom and two cabins without making the office feel cramped was a challenge, but she handled it beautifully.
The office now feels spacious, vibrant and personal, with a colour palette and design language that truly reflect our work. I’m extremely happy with what The Creative Escapes created.
