In the clouds
We introduced into the design many collab spaces, open pantries to encourage community, engagement and interactivity.
The connecting bridge at the upper floor is also a hub of activity having the boardrooms, amenities and shared spaces.
Design Direction
Of linearity and lightness
Lacking a double height the entrance is defined by its linearity and materiality. The is emphasis on the white color, lightness of form and simplicity speaks Citrix and its philosophy of future thinking and virtualization.
Experiential geometry
As a R&D facility, the addition of the CBC -customer experience spaces, clean lines of geometry and modern corporate look is a move to engage with the community as a whole.
Utilitarian interruptions
The spaces, interjected with the planes speaks not only of the multi functionality that lines the common corridors but the unlimited applications of Citrix products. This is bought about by the bright and warm colours which were primarily around the collaborative areas and remaining office space were kept muted with grey carpet and white work stations.
Flowing geometry
The white table tops and other elements are replicated and adds an element of continuity throughout the spaces.
Folding planes
The cafeteria on the upper floor continues to use the element of the white table top in creative ways with the surfaces almost moving through gestures of folding and intertwining. The ceiling also mimics the ever changing geometry and adds an element of play along with the tinted glass and colourful furniture.
