the solution

An industrial theme was chosen to match the building’s compact setup. This design effect was accomplished by mixing different textures of wood, metal, cement, and brick across the space. The existing ceiling was removed to utilize the structure with trussing to further draw out the industrial look-and-feel.

Some key design features have been intricately planned to draw out the understated modern class and beauty that is commonly associated with the brand.  The bar counter was inspired by the Japanese technique called Shou Sugi Ban which is done by burning wood, then brushing and sealing it with oil for preservation. The bar counter thus lent a more subdued atmosphere to the area, allowing more emphasis to be given to the spirits stockpiled in it.

The work desk located at the pantry was a custom design by Paperspace specially for our client—the craftsmanship stands as testament to the exquisite detailing involved in this piece  with thick wood on top and solid metal legs.  The console was another highlight that aimed to convey a certain gravitas at the lounge. What grabs the eye is the antique cabinet in patina finish  from India, which looks like it is made of 100 percent metal but is in fact, wood.

For the conference room, Paperspace placed a layering of upcycled wood planks reminiscent of its distillery hubs. The elevated wood texture was sustainably sourced with used planks from existing old houses across various locations, which highlights the firm’s stride towards running a sustainable business in the long-term.
