Kyowa Kirin Office, Dubai

Kyowa Kirin approached the Spencer team for the design and fit-out of an office space that is elegant and sophisticated. They wanted a modern workspace with subtle and warm textures inspired from their Brand. The office space included two units, out of which one was shell and core, and the other one was a fitted-out office space that had to be refurbished.

As the client had two separate units to be designed & fitted out, Spencer Interior and contracting wanted to work in two different phases to ensure the smooth running of the client’s business during the build process. Hence, they first worked on unit 1, while the client continued their business from unit 2. Once unit 1 was completed, the client’s team moved to the new office, while we worked on unit 2.

Kyowa Kirin is a Japan based company, so they focused on including elements from Japanese culture in the design. They ensured this by making a vinyl wooden flooring that resembles the traditional Japanese flooring; Bolon, that resembles Tatami mat , color palette inspired from their architecture. They also used a mix of white and wooden toned furniture for achieving the overall look. The final design embraced subtlety, asymmetry and integration of nature that aligns with Japanese design principles.

The client, Kyowa Kirin was very happy to see a shell & core unit and a traditional office landscape, being converted into an elegant workspace that emits a warm aesthetic & feels very inviting and comfortable to its employees.
