Inshorts Media believes that there’s no place more comfortable than home and its office aims to offer domestic luxuries at the workplace.

Is it possible to find the comforts of home at your workplace and still be productive? The young media company Inshorts believes so. When they set out to design their Noida office, this is the design brief the company gave to Edifice Consultants. With a creative and young team as well as a 24x7 operations, the brief called for a setup that would energise the young crowd, aid the open office culture and work well within tight budgetary constraints of setting up the office.

Founded by former IITians, Inshorts’ required a space that imbibed the familiar and relaxed vibe of a home — the reception as the drawing room, the cafe as the dining room, etc. Of course, the challenge was to translate this brief into a high-energy office space. Besides factoring in insightful feedback from the company’s existing office, the design also had to address other spatial requirements such as team briefing spaces, and unique measures such as acoustic barriers between gaming areas and work areas, among others.
