In its operations spanning 70 countries, BEUMER Group sought a departure from its traditional workspace, characterized by conventional cabins, meeting rooms, and cubicles. The challenge was to create a workspace with a distinct ‘Wow’ factor, reflecting the international stature of the organization. The collaboration between Space Matrix and Beumer have played a major role in helping both the companies to accomplish this distinct ‘wow’ factor by introducing a vertical connection through an internal staircase linking the two floors. The design and conceptualization of the staircase were conducted by Space Matrix, emphasizing the creation of a communal and collaborative atmosphere. Beumer, with its engineering prowess, translated this design into reality. The end result showcases the design excellence of Space Matrix and the engineering capabilities of Beumer, highlighting the synergy that led to impactful outcomes. The two-floor office design strategically designated the 8th floor for exclusive employee use, while the 9th floor served as the arrival experience area. This segregation aimed to separate high-activity recreational and arrival zones from the quieter work areas. The double-height space seamlessly expanded into a collaborative hub for the employee floor, acting as a central point during town halls and events, equipped with life-sized screens ensuring uninterrupted digital connectivity.

Rohit Raj Puniani, Managing Director of Space Matrix, expressed his satisfaction with the project, stating, “Beumer is one of our most prestigious clients, and among the leaders in their vertical globally. From the first day of our discussions, the focus was to integrate their brand’s values into the space. We applied the principles of design thinking, and leveraged our in-depth understanding of the client’s vision to ensure that everything was spot on. We are glad to have executed the project to perfection by meeting all client expectations of functionality, efficiency, and strategic placement of buzz zones.”
Nitin Vyas, Managing Director & CEO of BEUMER India Pvt Ltd, commended Space Matrix for their commitment and involvement in the entire process, emphasizing their unwillingness to compromise on designs. He said, “I thoroughly enjoyed the entire process, from the initial offer stage to the design and, finally, the delivery of our new office by Space Matrix. It was truly awesome. The level of commitment and involvement demonstrated by the Space Matrix team was amazingly refreshing in today’s world of quick fixes. I appreciated the extra effort and their unwillingness to compromise on designs, all thanks to the Space Matrix Design Team. My heartfelt gratitude goes out to the entire Space Matrix team. We embarked upon our office transformation journey over a year ago with an aim to boost employee engagement, brand integration in the office design and attracting new talent. The idea was to take comfort, aesthetics, and employee well-being to new levels of excellence, and Space Matrix has done complete justice to the brief.” The primary goal of the workspace transformation was to elevate the overall employee experience, and the results are nothing short of spectacular. The design consciously eliminated cubicles and enclosed rooms along the glass facade, providing every employee with a stunning connection to the natural surroundings. Abundant natural light and lush greenery foster a profound link between occupants and the environment.
The open work area offers a remarkable 360-degree view across both floors, with full-height masses strategically placed. This visual masterpiece distinguishes focus work zones from vibrant buzz zones through inventive use of furniture and lighting, creating an environment conducive to both concentration and collaboration. The captivating graphic carpet pattern in the work area infuses dynamism and energy, transforming the workspace into a vibrant realm where creativity and productivity thrive.
Dedicated spaces like the recreation center, library, wellness room, and nursing room have been strategically placed to positively impact the workforce. These areas serve as sanctuaries of rejuvenation, allowing employees to reduce stress, recharge, and find comfort within the office walls. The thoughtful design reflects a workplace that prioritizes employee well-being, fostering an environment where people not only work but thrive.
