My Very First Project: OFM, Mattrah, Oman

Just a year after graduating from university, Khulood Sultan and I have been given the amazing opportunity to design the sub-office for Oman Flour Mills that is situated in Mattrah. I am not going to bore you with all the details on how strenuous the journey was for both of us as we both lacked the experience, however, we managed to pull through over the long haul.
The client had specifically requested a very modernistic design, something different and new. Of course we noted that down, but we knew that it was also important to generate a space that radiates a sense of freshness to keep the staff going strong throughout the long working hours of the day. The space is quite small so we had to ensure that the right materials were picked to make the best use of the place, therefore a lot of glass has been used, we also picked neutral colors for the walls that went perfectly well with our choice of walnut laminate for the floor. And a big thanks to the client who allowed us to customize some of the furniture. The highlight of the space for me would have to be the ceiling design, we were inspired by their logo and designed a stylized version of it. Check it out!
