The Ultimate Inspiration To Curate A Chic Home Office
Miro Architects’ latest office project makes a case for simple silhouettes and bold elements
A play of shadows and reflections unfolds, the striking stroke of a paintbrush etched on a canvas – such powerful elements are part of Miro Architects’ latest commercial design project, which transforms the offices of Reside Developments into an ode to transcendent architecture. One of Egypt’s top design firms with an HQ in Cairo, the company has branches in Dubai and London and possesses a portfolio of ultra-refined builds and interior fit-outs.
The raw and honest material details of Reside Development’s office reflect the brand’s strength: green accents add a fresh touch of nature uplifting the neutral tonality; precisely curated art takes the space from functional to vibrant; clean lines add a gracefulness through furniture with gentle curvature; and floor-to-ceiling windows drench the space with invigorating light that changes throughout the day.
“Office design has transitioned towards flexible, adaptable spaces that support diverse work styles,” shares Mohamed Hazem, founder and CEO of Miro Architects. “There’s a greater emphasis on employee well-being, incorporating elements like natural light, biophilic design, and communal areas to foster collaboration and creativity.”
The award-winning design firm discerns that crucial aspects to consider when space planning for an office are workflow optimisation, flexibility and brand identity among others. “Designing layouts that facilitate efficient movement and task execution are key. As is incorporating design elements which reflect the company’s culture and values, thus creating a cohesive and engaging atmosphere for employees and visitors,” says Mohamed. Other aspects like ergonomic considerations alongside aesthetic sensibilities fuse together to deliver cohesive and captivating spaces that serve as form, function and fuel for creativity.
The Miro Architects office design for Reside Developments truly symbolises its commitment to the ability of the craft of design to elevate and inspire.
