Attention To Details

London and Mumbai based SAV Architecture + Design designed an open-plan and minimal workspace interiors for Unilab, a pharmaceuticals and chemicals company, in North Mumbai within a new office block.

When Unilab Chemicals & Pharmaceuticals were looking to design their offices in North Mumbai within a new office block, the company gave London- and Mumbai-based SAV Architecture + Design a clear brief. They wanted a space with a contemporary and international appeal, one that would provide a calm working oasis within the chaotic city.

SAV worked on the brief and proposed an open-plan, minimalistic design that focused on flexibility, transparency, tactility and would bring natural light and freshness into the interiors. For the lighting, furniture and flooring patterns, the design team took inspiration from the forms of chemical compositions and conceptualised these products in a manner that would create a layered and textured design, showcasing the different formulas Unilab uses to make its products.
