Located on the first floor of the same building as the Fresheeze Jawatta boutique supermarket, this corporate office transformation represents a seamless extension of the CIC Fresheeze brand identity. The renovation, completed under the expert guidance of a structural engineer, demonstrates how limited space can be optimized to create a highly functional, modern working environment.
With approximately 1300 square feet of space, the design team maximized every inch to accommodate the diverse operational needs of this busy corporate office. The thoughtfully planned layout includes a private manager's office for leadership and confidential discussions, a professional meeting room for quick business meetings with both internal teams and external parties, ergonomic staff workstations designed for productivity and collaboration, a comfortable dining area for staff breaks and informal discussions, a compact industrial kitchen supporting daily operations, essential cool room and store room facilities for inventory and supplies, and complete changing rooms and washrooms for staff welfare.
The design philosophy embraced a fresh, cool, and modern aesthetic using premium new materials throughout. The interior palette draws inspiration from the CIC Fresheeze brand identity, incorporating the signature theme colours under the CIC Agri branding guidelines, creating a cohesive visual connection between the supermarket below and the corporate office above.
Above the table, a long horizontal light fixture with multiple spotlights provides bright, even illumination, enhancing the modern aesthetic and ensuring the space feels open and welcoming. This thoughtful lighting design contributes to the overall sense of elegance and professionalism throughout the office. The realistic rendering emphasizes texture and surface droplets, evoking a powerful sense of freshness and juiciness that resonates perfectly with CIC Fresheeze's brand promise of quality and vitality. This artistic installation adds vibrancy and personality to the workspace.
A vertical green banner with clean, modern white text reading "The best coffee in the world" further reinforces the brand's commitment to quality and the café culture that defines the Fresheeze experience. The Fresheeze Jawatta Corporate Office stands as a testament to how thoughtful design can transform compact spaces into efficient, brand-driven working environments.
