ATI HEAD OFFICE

DUBAI, UAE

2020

Millennial friendly and creative, ATI’s new office space is a true representation of the firm’s vision and style.

Renowned for designing spaces that enrich the experience, ATI have created a head office that perfectly blends design concepts with everyday functionality. With a spacious, open-plan layout, the interaction between work, conversation and movement is evident, creating a human-centric environment designed to boost employee well-being and productivity.

Walking through the extensive space, the abundant use of natural light and glass has been thoughtfully considered as has the adoption of natural and sustainable materials. From the recycled wood flooring to the extensive use of biophilic design concepts, a calm, peaceful vibe has been achieved for deep concentration and research. While the space keeps consistent with a raw, earthy palette, it also delves into the theory of colour psychology with subtle accents of red blended to reflect ATI’s brand identity.

The goal was to create several distinct areas within an open-plan, collaborative space, to both inspire their teams while maintaining a future-oriented working environment. Divided into three zones – public, semi-public and private, the office includes permanent and flexible workplaces, creative zones and relaxation spaces. Private pods have been used throughout to symbolise small buildings, a design feature that pays homage to the nature of the practice. These workstations can also be adjusted to the employees needs creating a collaborative atmosphere to connect, brainstorm and exchange ideas.

The overall concept was inspired by the use of origami and paper, so often used and symbolized with the architecture practice. Geometric shapes and diagonal cuts were applied to align with our new brand identity.

When it comes to lighting, luminaires have been provided to flood the space with adequate light, illuminate specific design features, and create an inviting and productive environment. Acoustic flooring and panelling has also been implemented to improve the soundscape, reduce noise pollution and facilitate communication between employees.
