An Intimate Yet Challenging Creative Workspace
Architecture + Design
|April 2023
Summoning immersive design to the forefront, the Chalk Studio Office draws heavily from its core principles as a dynamic, young studio and translates these into the essence of its headquarters.

Ever-morphing in its form and unafraid to start over—there is something grounding and tactile about chalk as a humble tool that has outlived its modern contemporaries with silent grace. Every stroke transforms its being while leaving a trace of creation over a canvas. Carrying this nascent sentiment at its heart, the Chalk Studio Office moulds a sanctuary for its inhabitants, embracing the concept of tabula rasa as they revel in the joy of a new-found home.
Nestled on the 20th floor of a commercial complex in Gurugram’s urban heart, the studio makes a home amid panoramic views, witnessing the meeting of endless green pastures, the vast skies, and the humdrum of the city. Piecing together one’s own creative workspace is a task that is intimate and challenging all at once. While stepping into the shoes of the end-user comes with its own bout of consideration, it also presents a team with the ability to unearth a blank space’s potential that yearns to be explored. The team’s working style fuelled the design process at the primary stages, placing collaboration figuratively and metaphorically at its nucleus.
