From Zyeta
In response to its remarkable growth, MUFG, the prestigious Japanese financial institution, sought a new facility in Bengaluru that reflects its ethos. In collaboration with C&W, Zyeta has reimagined the workspace to create a vibrant environment that harmoniously blends purpose with culture, capturing the essence of MUFG while prioritizing comfort, efficiency, and connection.
Sustainable Design at Its Core
This workspace sets a benchmark in sustainability, utilizing carbon-neutral materials such as bamboo, rattan, cane, and recycled wood, perfectly aligning with MUFG's commitment to environmental responsibility.
Biophilic Integration for Well-Being
The design incorporates biophilic elements, featuring tranquil spaces like zen gardens and acoustically treated areas that foster employee well-being and productivity. These serene, nature-inspired settings offer a retreat from the hustle and bustle of daily work life.
Rustic Charm Through Reclaimed Wood
The strategic use of reclaimed wood for furniture enhances sustainability efforts, imbuing the workspace with rustic charm while minimizing waste. This conscious design choice reinforces eco-friendly procurement practices, creating an inviting atmosphere.
Enchanting Reception Experience
Upon entering, visitors are greeted by a reception area that transports them to a mystical utopia inspired by Bengaluru’s tranquil parks. Fluid forms and natural materials envelop the space, while a mesmerizing ripple ceiling reflects light like sunbeams dancing through lush foliage, setting a vibrant tone for the journey ahead.
Cozy Employee Engagement Areas
As you progress past the reception, the employee engagement area beckons with its cozy, park-like ambiance. Warm lighting bathes the space, complemented by bamboo elements that lend an organic touch. Arched rattan screens serve as an artful backdrop, hinting at the dynamic work neighborhoods that lie beyond.
Dynamic Collaboration Zones
The collaboration zones invite exploration, where light filters through intricately designed screens, casting captivating patterns. These spaces create a perfect balance between activity and tranquility, featuring huddle areas, collaboration hubs, and biophilia-infused buffer zones. The environment is enhanced with cane lighting, swing seats, and park-style benches, reminiscent of Bengaluru’s garden city vibe.
Inviting Cafeteria Atmosphere
Venturing into the cafeteria, warm lights and earthy brick-clad walls create a welcoming atmosphere. The lush greenery overhead, combined with the aroma of freshly brewed coffee, evokes the delightful ambiance of a café nestled within a park.
Thoughtfully Designed Meeting Rooms
As you transition to the meeting rooms, the tone shifts to a more formal setting while maintaining the overarching ‘open-in-nature’ theme. Strategic placements ensure that natural light and outdoor views continue to enhance the experience.
A Sanctuary of Inspiration
Each aspect of MUFG’s Bengaluru workspace unfolds as a sanctuary that seamlessly integrates work with a sense of belonging. In this thoughtfully curated environment, employees find themselves in a space that is both inspiring and invigorating, truly embodying the vibrant spirit of Bengaluru.
