In a compact area, the challenge for workspaces is to package its design elements judiciously and yet not be too simplistic. iKeva as a co-working space spans across 9000 square feet with a neat balance of open spaces, cabins and meeting spots. Located on the sixth floor of Melange Towers, Hitec City, iKeva boasts of complete occupancy in most of its centres across the country. Their design element varies from city to city, given the diverse tastes of residents. Although their interiors aren’t altered regularly, they make timely changes to break monotony.
For their Hitec centre, they stick to their basic palette of black, white, purple and magenta, the colours being adaptable for design changes whenever necessary. Rather than the furniture, it’s the hand-made touch that makes the space interesting. A drawing of a mosque with a moon on a white board is a toast to Ramzan festivities, a chart with craft work is modelled like a calendar at the entrance. This leads us to the café space (that functions through the day and has a stunning view of the Hitec stretch) where a dartboard serves as stress buster. This is where members host informal lunches, while sandwiches from Wichplease are a usual accompaniment during weekends. The open ceiling, a preferred choice with most office spaces now, ensures transparency.
