Keeping the
WeWork global design aesthetic in mind, the overall look of the building is
simple and chic, with pops of color accented by the furniture, art and
accessories. The floor plate with exposed concrete surfaces and glass facades
lets in ample natural light, lending a cozy feel to the entire space. At
present, Embassy Tech Village is WeWork’s largest space in India, where the
building is designed to utilize the expanse of the space to its full potential
– with just the right use of light and design elements.

Amplifying
WeWork’s design thinking in the space, the community bar is also set up in a
way that the illusion of different reflections can be seen from various angles
by using a black mirror and whenever there’s a play of lights. With the lighting
in the space core to the feel of the space, the pantry and F&B counter are
connected to a 30-foot light box above that gives the space new dimension,
while brightening up the area. Featuring the community bar; alongside feature
nooks, pantry and staircase that create an element of uniformity, a bold shade
of blue has been used on the metal bars that surround the staircase that acts
as a centerpiece. Grounded by WeWork’s core mission of connecting humans, such
vibrant installations aim for members to use the stairs more often while also
fostering conversations amongst members.

WeWork has
extensively used art to add a hint of playfulness – a curated mix of
photography, murals, hand-painted pieces and LED installations, designed by the
in-house Art & Graphics Team, is present throughout the space. With
community traditionally a catalyst for WeWork, the space is also enhanced with
tiger murals in the playroom, acrylic pieces within the metal frames of the
feature nook, and a tapestry that reflects a local vibe in tandem with local
culture, all designed to inspire and encourage greater collaboration amongst
members.
