Government workspace integrates heritage, simplicity, and function

"Our goal was to create an office that represents discipline, humility, and friendliness, with every material silently supporting the gravity of public service." - - Studio Hatch.

Every workstation has a backstory that includes not just materials and walls but also the people who created it and their goals. The Chamber began as a peaceful evolution, with the remodelling of an old government building to embody the qualities of simplicity, warmth, and timelessness. A single idea inspired the design – creating a setting that reflects the office's work ethic, disciplined and focused, but anchored in humility and grace.

Materiality was the starting point of this transition. A palette of natural wood, soft leather, textured fabrics, and subdued metal finishes was chosen for its capacity to age gracefully, with its peaceful elegance providing a contrast to the hectic pace of administrative life. These materials combine to produce a room that is classic yet striking, subtle yet unforgettable, much like the function it performs.
