A remarkable office interior design can redefine the way people work, think, and collaborate. When Mr. Hussain Ali Ratnani entrusted The Shape Interiors with reimagining HMI Pakistan’s corporate workspace, the vision was bold — create an inspiring, efficient, and future-ready environment that mirrors the company’s progressive ethos.
This transformation wasn’t just about aesthetics. It was about functionality, flow, and feeling — blending design with purpose to create a workplace that empowers productivity and enhances well-being.

Design Vision & Core Challenges
Every successful office interior design begins with understanding the client’s culture and workflow. For HMI Pakistan, the challenge lay in converting a traditionally structured office into a modern, dynamic workspace that could foster collaboration and innovation.
The Shape Interiors identified key issues such as:
-
Inefficient space utilization
-
Outdated design elements
-
Lack of natural light flow
-
Limited collaboration zones
The goal was to curate a functional yet visually striking workspace where form meets functionality — ensuring that every corner of the office adds value.
“Designing a workspace isn’t about filling rooms — it’s about creating experiences that drive performance.” — Kazim Ratnani
Concept & Theme Development
The design narrative revolved around a modern minimalist concept enhanced with industrial undertones. The aim was to deliver a timeless workspace that blends contemporary aesthetics with a professional vibe.
Key Conceptual Highlights:
-
Neutral color foundation with metallic and wooden accents
-
Streamlined geometric patterns for visual flow
-
Textural contrasts to evoke depth and sophistication
-
Balanced corporate tones with calming elements

Smart Layout Planning
Efficient layout planning was at the heart of this office interior design. The Shape Interiors approached zoning with precision — ensuring that each area aligns with its intended purpose while maintaining visual harmony.
Core Spatial Divisions:
-
Reception Area: Minimal yet grand, making a lasting first impression.
-
Workstations: Open-plan layouts encouraging team interaction.
-
Executive Cabins: Designed with understated luxury for focus and authority.
-
Meeting & Conference Rooms: Equipped with modern acoustics and digital integration.
-
Breakout Lounges: Relaxed zones for casual discussions and creative thinking.
Material, Texture & Color Story
The materials chosen played a defining role in shaping the overall tone. Each finish was selected to enhance durability, comfort, and aesthetic appeal.
Material Palette:
-
Wood: Adds warmth and authenticity.
-
Matte Metal: Introduces sleek modernity.
-
Glass Partitions: Ensure transparency and openness.
-
Textured Paint: Brings tactile richness to walls.
Color Story:
A neutral base of white and soft grey was layered with accents of deep blue — representing stability and professionalism. The result was a visually calming yet powerfully modern workspace.
Lighting & Ambience Design
Lighting defines mood — and in this office interior design, it became a central storytelling tool.
The Shape Interiors implemented a layered lighting approach to balance functionality and atmosphere:
-
Ambient Lighting: Even distribution through recessed LED panels.
-
Task Lighting: Directed illumination for workstations and desks.
-
Accent Lighting: Highlighting architectural features and artwork.
-
Warm-toned Fixtures: Creating a cozy yet professional feel.
Good lighting doesn’t just enhance aesthetics — it also boosts energy and performance. As supported by research from the International WELL Building Institute (DoFollow), lighting plays a critical role in workplace wellness.
Furniture & Décor Integration
Each furniture element was handpicked for elegance and ergonomics. The goal was to ensure long-term comfort without compromising on style.
Furniture Highlights:
-
Custom-designed desks with wire management solutions
-
High-back ergonomic chairs promoting posture health
-
Modular storage cabinets ensuring clutter-free organization
-
Contemporary wall art and planters for a refreshing visual balance
