Allsopp & Allsopp Office, Motor City Dubai

The Allsopp & Allsopp project demonstrates the talent, experience, and drive that Neelanchana Kumar, Design Director at Horton Interiors possesses. This innovative and transformative work with one of the UAE’s most energetic companies encompassed a holistic approach that delivered a thoughtful and vibrant design strategy. The culmination produced an invigorated workspace that embodies the client’s dynamic and aspirational ethos.

Our design concept paid homage to Allsopp & Allsopp’s unique persona – a young, ambitious, socially active, and exponentially growing company. The resultant space is an avant-garde fusion of energy and sophistication - imaginative, lively, modern, and inviting. Careful integration of commercial and residential components translated into an ambiance that feels comfortable and stimulating for the employees, enhancing productivity and fostering collaboration.

Significantly, Horton Interiors designed a workspace that prioritized aesthetics, sustainability, and wellness. Our commitment to sustainable design was evidenced by the adherence to the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) green building certification guidelines.  Simultaneously, we put human health and well-being at the forefront, securing the WELL certification that focuses on improving wellness in the workplace. This commitment was also demonstrated in green biophilic applications, essentially bringing the outdoors inside and creating a harmonious, healthier working environment.

One of the hallmark features of Horton Interiors’ design concept is the seamless incorporation of technology. An interactive, technologically-driven idea with hi-tech flourishes throughout and infuses the office with a fitting future-forward vibe. This tech-focused approach extended to a sophisticated hot desk booking system that offers employees greater flexibility and convenience in their workday.

The concept was far from conventional; the originality and boldness that we delivered were striking. It incorporates unexpected yet delightful features such as a virtual golf driving range, an Xbox room, and even a DJ booth. This fosters a sense of camaraderie among staff and doubles as a stressbuster that continuously invigorates the workspace uniquely. 

One of our goals was to craft a design that encourages creativity and collaboration. Elements such as configurable furniture for flexible use of space and acoustic pods for phone-based meetings enhance ergonomics and acoustics whether staff want interaction or privacy. Meeting rooms are anything but ordinary too. We developed a mix of rooms throughout the building that could hold meetings but took inspiration from lounges, classrooms, and living rooms to give a homely feel and make them feel less of a chore. 

As stated, the overall design was thoughtfully curated to evoke Allsopp & Allsopp’s identity, with clever use of their branding meticulously woven. Each element, from the more significant architectural aspects to the minute details, was designed to articulate the brand’s ethos, creating a cohesive and visually striking narrative. The space is a testament to Allsopp & Allsopp’s journey and vision. 

In essence, Horton Interiors delivered more than a physical space; we created an experience that echoes the vitality and ambition of Allsopp & Allsopp. The concept transcended the conventional, morphing into a dynamic, modern, and refreshing space. A proper next-gen workspace, it is both a testament to Horton Interiors’ exceptional skills and a vibrant manifestation of Allsopp & Allsopp’s indomitable spirit.
