Patch Design Studio

The workspace is like an extension of an old Parisian apartment with an arched wall opening and a niche with shelves for inspirational wall frames, all built into full height storage. The solid wood workstations add warmth and texture to the modern décor and soften the look amidst light colored walls.

Le15 Work-space and Kitchen Studio

Le15’s Head Chef, came to us to design her new Head Office space with a kitchen studio as an extension to the central kitchen space existing on the same site. The project brief asked for a workspace area for staff, the head chef’s cabin, a library and kitchen studio space for workshops and baking experiments, all having a laid back Parisian vibe. This Paris inspired brand chose a site in an old industrial warehouse, having no windows. No natural light was challenging to work with, and our response was to repurpose the existing site conditions while retaining the ceiling heights, introducing skylights, and adopting an open work plan. Since the employees spend more time here than at home on any given day, creating a cozy and comfortable workspace for the them while also infusing brand identity into the work-space were the main design intents.

The workspace is like an extension of an old Parisian apartment with an arched wall opening and a niche with shelves for inspirational wall frames, all built into full height storage. The solid wood workstations add warmth and texture to the modern décor and soften the look amidst light colored walls.
The custom made mirror light fixtures reflect and disperse natural light from the skylights, in the entire space. Placed at angles the mirror surfaces also create some playful peak-a-boo moments.
A tall pink capsule seat was custom designed to seclude one from wide workspace with patterned whimsical cement tiles on floor leading to it.
The pastel pink interiors are a reflection of the brand’s classic pink and white brand’s identity. Since the employees spend more time here than at their homes on any given day, creating cozy and comfortable workspace for the employees was one of the main design intent.
The head chef’s cabin is designed to be a laid-back multi-purpose space, like a mini studio apartment that hosts business meetings, private drawing lessons, long work nights and recording sessions for her podcast. On one side is her wide work desk, facing it is a cozy couch which doubles as a bed. Framed with overhead wooden storage cabinets, the hand painted mural of Mt Fuji serves to motivate everyone towards the company goals.
The quaint kitchen studio was designed for her baking experiments with an island work top that enables her to conduct workshops live and online for her social media followers.
The industrial lighting and exposed ceiling balances the pink cabinets and patterned tile back splash with functional Kota stone flooring.
The attic is carved out away from the working atmosphere and acts as a breakout space designed to provide a quiet retreat from the general active environment.
Accounts room is tucked away below the created attic space.
The ‘library staircase’ leads up to the inviting attic beneath a skylight.
