Eagle Hills Office, Abu Dhabi

The comfort of a home with the focus of a workplace – JTCPL Designs + HTS Interiors were tasked with bringing out the best of both worlds for Eagle Hills Properties office in Abu Dhabi. Ushering in inspiration and light, the floor-to-ceiling transparent walls effectively harnessed pristine views of the Persian Gulf. And the wide and open reception foyer, with its light-hued walls, textured panels and wooden flooring, brought in just the homely charm.

A soft-coloured couch and earthy colours created a soothing contrast with the turquoise water alongside. And this austere look and feel was aptly elevated with sleek, modern furniture and edgy lighting, making all those who come in feel at ease. Unlike a blank slate, this space came with existing structures and fittings that posed relative challenges with the planning. Ensuring there was minimal disruption to some of its old facilities, the space was redesigned to uplift its functionality and comfort. The office was transformed into a homey yet professional space in just three months and a strict budget.

Their unrestricted office culture is fostered by spacious passageways and open door cabins that swiftly connect various departments. In addition to regular meeting rooms, a circular space was designed in the center to facilitate crossteam collaboration and nurture team spirit. It is acoustically designed to avoid disturbing adjacent workstations. Seating areas were smartly aligned with the window to bring in maximum natural light to enhance mental well-being and productivity.

An interplay of a subtle palette of warm hues and textures appended a new layer of depth to the layout. Accent lighting from Italy, cozy lounge seats and a dash of minimalistic artefacts were aptly organized around the office to break the monotony of everyday work life.
