Case Study

The existing staff eating area was situated in a corner of a large atrium space, characterized by excessive echoes and minimal furniture. The client desired a dedicated canteen space separated from the atrium, providing staff with a comfortable environment for relaxation and dining.

Client Requirements

The client initially considered installing canteen tables, chairs, and booths. However, they opted for a blend of two-thirds canteen seating and one-third relaxing/reading area, seeking a balanced and versatile space.

Design Collaboration: iGate provided 3-D drawings to help the client visualise various design concepts, collaborating closely to achieve a look and layout that met their preferences.

Scope of Works

Each aspect of the scope of work was meticulously planned and executed to ensure a seamless transformation of the space into a functional and aesthetically pleasing environment.

Partitioning off the area with studded and glass partitions, including a glazed door with glass manifestations.
Painting the room in colours selected by the in-house interior designer, in coordination with the client’s approval.
