The second most important space for humans are commercial or office spaces, after residential spaces. Like residences, it is important to design Commercial Spaces thoughtfully since these are a reflection of the organization to its visitors as well as the importance it gives to its employees by ensuring their comfort. This June 2019 issue of INSITE focuses on Commercial Spaces and gives a look into wonderfully designed commercial spaces. The INSITE story features projects like The Brick Store by Hitesh modi; Transparent Office by Group DCA; refitting of interiors for Jindal Mansion by Ravi Sarangan; a collaborative workspace by Rajeev Sathe; the Samsung Library by Studio Vyom; a green industrial and research facility by Beri Planners; a work place for the millenials by Ar.
