Article source: Zyeta Amidst the incessant hustle at the World Trade Center in Pune, lies a haven of peace and productivity, that is the Vanderlande office. A step out of the lift lobby and onto their floor leads one into a rugged, industrial atmosphere that reflects the logistical, technological core of the company. A sweeping, curvilinear glass wall embellished with their logo provides a glimpse into a lab display area that exhibits a conveyor belt testing machine. This space stands out instantly to highlight Vanderlande’s products and their indomitable brand values.  Image Courtesy © Prashant Bhat

The workspaces are set in a non-monotonous, non-hierarchical manner and visually demarcated through color gradation and strategically placed biophilic elements. As one walks towards the linear workspaces, one is treated to unhindered views of employees intensely engaged at their ergonomically designed, height adjustable desks. Multihued acoustic Ecopanels and luminous industrial lights suspended over the workspaces from the exposed ceiling, provide a sense of privacy in the otherwise open work environment. The long, rugged track leads one across multiple semi-enclosed huddle spaces and verdant collaboration zones. One can often find individuals engrossed in active discussion in these informal interaction hubs or deep in contemplation on one of the swing seats. Large corrugated container sheets enclose private meeting rooms and phone booths, and visually direct one towards an alternate workspace with collaborative, honey-combed workstations. On the opposite end of the floor, employees can usually be found relaxing through a game of table tennis or carrom, or conversing animatedly over a meal at the vibrant, graffitied cafeteria.

Every space is thoughtfully crafted to inspire and motivate the employees, while distinctly echoing the brand narrative. The liberal, innovative design ideology reflects Vanderlande’s employee-first work culture and emphasizes the company’s consciousness towards workplace wellness.
