Designed by Puran Kumar of Studio PKA, the A91 Partners’ venture capital Mumbai office is a reflection of the ethos of the firm.
“The founders at A91 Partners came to us with a clear brief: they needed a space that could define who they are as a firm as well as speak of their core values and sensibilities,” says Kumar.
“Transparency and accessibility were major tenets for the client, symbolising their values and culture of the workplace, which are translated into the design through the careful use of materials like glass and a non-hierarchical demarcation of zones respectively,” he continues.
