Bright, flexible and welcoming environment define the office interiors of the new Ubisoft Office in AUH. The spaces of the office are designed for the people who are go-getters, bold and future thinkers. When the brief was presented, we are tasked to create a space that would encourage the users to move. Spaces should be highly collaborative, areas wherein they could also be encouraged to think deep and introduction of some rest areas wherein they could just take respite during a long and productive day. Ubisoft is a constantly evolving technology company that is heavily dealing with the further development of online games. It is also imperative to design their office that would measure up with the changing times. In planning and designing the space. It is important for us to bring the character of the company into the space, hence, using a lot of writable surfaces, using delicate colors that would match the company brand which are all reflected in the joinery details, furniture selection and lighting fixtures in the space. An equally important part of the floor design is taking into consideration that employees of this organization when they tend to be so immersed in the creation of new games, they mostly just stay idle in their working space and having no time to move around. Thus, incorporation of green spaces, trees and a feel of being outside, Biophilia, was also taken into consideration in creating this wonderful space for UBISOFT. The project reflects a contemporary approach to workplace and public architecture that balances programmatic efficiency with a strong sense of place, using material honesty, daylight, and spatial flexibility to support the evolving needs of occupants. Its successful delivery demonstrates how thoughtful design can align commercial or institutional goals with the well-being of the people who use the space on a daily basis.
