Before: The Challenge

Before finalizing the Nayla project, several challenges were identified. The initial layout lacked structure, leading to inefficiencies in space utilization and creating confusion in decision-making. Budget constraints posed another hurdle, as maintaining a balance between cost-effectiveness and quality required careful planning. Additionally, compliance with SAMA regulations and adherence to office safety standards were critical considerations to ensure a secure and legally sound workspace.

Inefficient Layout

The original space lacked proper structure and flow, resulting in wasted space and reduced productivity.

Budget Constraints

Balancing high-quality design with cost-effectiveness required innovative solutions and careful planning.

Regulatory Compliance

Meeting SAMA regulations and office safety standards was essential for a fintech company operating in Saudi Arabia.

Design Journey

Revie crafted a retro-industrial workspace that seamlessly integrated Nayla's signature primary and orange color palette. The office was tailored for fintech innovation, featuring bespoke workstations and collaborative zones designed to enhance productivity. A blend of exposed ceilings, metal accents, and statement lighting added character to the space, while SAMA regulatory-compliant security infrastructure ensured a secure and controlled work environment.

To overcome initial design challenges, the layout was carefully refined to include two executive offices, two side private offices, eight workstations, a reception, a kitchenette, a female restroom, and an outdoor area. The mood and aesthetic were meticulously developed through color stories, sketches, and 3D visuals to align with the project's vision. Additionally, value engineering played a key role in material selection, opting for an alternative to wood for cladding, balancing cost efficiency with design integrity.

After: The Transformation

A well-structured office layout was implemented to maximize functionality and efficiency. After carefully evaluating cost, lead time, and quality, the best furniture supplier was selected, streamlining procurement and ensuring budget efficiency. By choosing suppliers that offered competitive pricing and high-quality materials, significant cost savings were achieved. The use of mood boards and thoughtfully selected color schemes enhanced the workspace's visual appeal, creating a cohesive design. Additionally, all regulatory requirements were met, ensuring a safe and compliant environment.
