Colacion Studio designed the new 55,000 square foot corporate headquarters of Tamdeen Group, a prestigious Middle Eastern real estate development company, based in Kuwait.
Tamdeen Group and Colacion Studio joined forces to create a dynamic and forward-thinking interior to reinforce Tamdeen's brand and mission statement, "Deliver the Promise," and to celebrate the firm's cultural heritage and diversity. It was also important that the design reflect the firm's vision of the retail experience in the Middle East, and its commitment to the surrounding community. Colacion Studio focused on creating a dimensional, elegant and contemporary physical space, which translated the Tamdeen brand both internally and externally.
In addition to honoring the Tamdeen Group's commitment to its community and history, there was also a need to celebrate its diverse international workforce. With Colacion Studio's attention to work and play, the firm created a planning and design approach which spoke to each person's professional and community personas, reinforcing the diverse cultures within Tamdeen Group. It was this approach, which assisted the firm in creating a visually exciting and dynamic environment celebrating its culturally eclectic workforce.
The open plan areas, workstations and private office spaces were modulated to accommodate diverse work styles, and future organizational shifts.
