Massa Office, Dubai

Massa designed a creative, collaborative and relaxed workspace for its employees. The office space accommodates a studio work area, a material library with samples display workspace, a dry pantry, a meeting room that could be converted to a workshop space and a quiet room for employees to relax, pray or meditate.

The main feature of our office is the meeting room, which floats in the center of the office space, surrounded by all the other functions. The meeting room was designed with maximum flexibility to serve as a multi-function space. It serves as internal and external meetings space, additional workspace as required, workshop space and event space.

The other featured area in Massa’s office is the studio space, which is designed to be a creative and collaborative space for the design team, surrounded by a compact material library, a dry pantry and layout space. Adjacent to the studio, carved out of the meeting room, is the quiet room. This room is designed with acoustic panels on four sides, making an ideal serene space for employees to take a break for prayer, relaxation, meditation or taking a personal phone call.

With a focus on sustainability and to meet the fit-out budget, the design team used raw recyclable materials throughout. The OSB boards are kept to their natural state, accented by blackened steel sheets throughout. An open white ceiling allowing maximum natural light into the office, and soft curtains to help provide adequate acoustic to the working environment. To help provide a relaxed environment, indirect soft lighting surrounds the space and individual table lamps are provided for addition lux levels at the workstation.
