The project’s soul was heavily influenced by the client, Aditi Kothari, whose deep-rooted love for plants and wildlife became the project’s North Star. Her vision was clear: the office shouldn't just be a place of transaction, but a high-performance ecosystem where people actually love to come to work. We moved away from office plant clichés and instead curated a civilized jungle of monumental trees and big leaved philodendrons — that provide visual relief and breathe life into the sharp, professional logic of the floor plate.

The connection between the raw SRDA architecture and the botanical edit is found in the materiality. We integrated custom vessels in muted earth tones—charcoals and deep browns—treating them as bespoke furniture that softens the building’s skeleton. Built-in screens of architectural Sansevieria act as organic dividers, filtering light and creating intimate pockets of nature within the expansive corporate setting.

By blurring the lines between a powerhouse financial institution and a lush sanctuary, we transformed the workspace into a tool for productivity and well-being. The result is a cinematic environment where trunky trees frame the Mumbai horizon and backlit foliage turns the lobby into a gallery. This is a space where nature isn't an afterthought; it’s a deliberate design move that makes the office feel alive, sophisticated, and unapologetically modern.
