    Space Matrix and IA Interior Architects Form Global Consortium

    Space Matrix, a leading multinational workplace design consultancy firm headquartered in Singapore with a specialization in workplace design and build has announced a strategic partnership with US-based IA Interior Architects. Two of the largest global design firms focused on interiors for workplaces have joined forces to provide unparalleled design services and capabilities to serve its clients.

    Space Matrix has offices across six cities in India and the country’s vibrant ecosystem and infrastructure promotes innovation and the right talent to meet the demands of global clients.

    This partnership will include shared resources in a “Global Studio” with dedicated professionals, technologies, and expertise, all focussed on innovation and designing cutting edge interiors. The Global Studio connects over 1,400 professionals across 37 locations spanning the globe, allowing both firms to serve clients across six continents, in more than 60 countries, and in over 500 cities.

    “Our partnership creates a global platform that is unmatched in the industry and we are incredibly excited to be bringing this to our clients. Our clients look to us to provide thought leadership, create experiential workplaces that help build their brand, increase productivity and improve employee retention. That’s a big responsibility and hence for us, alignment was key. Alignment in core values, a culture of excellence and client servicing and we found all of those in IA not just at the leadership level but across the firm. India has emerged as a much sought-after destination for global organizations and the opportunities are immense. Our strong foothold here and across Asia, ensures we remain attractive to international opportunities,” said Arsh Chaudhry, CEO, Space Matrix.

    As per the UNCTAD[1], India was among the top 10 recipients of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in 2019, attracting $49 billion in inflows. This is an increase of 16% from the previous year, driving the FDI growth in South Asia. The country is a business hotspot for many international entities and is an attractive destination for global markets.

    “As Asian companies expand in the west and US companies continue their expansion across Asia, this partnership gives us the ability to provide global perspectives and solutions to our clients and marks the next phase of our growth journey as we spread our wings globally,” added Chaudhry.

    India is a key market for Space Matrix with over 50% of the 2,000 projects executed globally coming from this region. The firm works with clients from across sectors including IT, ITeS, pharmaceuticals, consulting, banking and finance, and insurance (BFSI). The strategic partnership will help bring in global best practices and have a positive impact on the future of workplace design in India.

    “Both of our firms have a similar vision, complementary values, and a shared passion for interiors. That is what made this consortium the perfect fit – in reviewing our business, we had identified a gap in our capabilities to serve the APAC market.  Partnering with Space Matrix gives us the strongest platform to expand and bring our collective passion to this new market.,” shares David Bourke, IA’s Co-CEO/President.

    IA and Space Matrix are forward-looking firms that never sit still. Together, the firms will be completing projects, sharing research, and hosting joint think tanks, all in an effort to expand its collective expertise and drive innovation.

    MUMBAI: Space Matrix, a multinational workplace design consultancy firm headquartered in Singapore with a specialisation in workplace design and build, recently bagged the award for Best Office Interior at the Asia Pacific Property Awards for three of its projects. These projects include Northern Trust from India, Omnicom Media Group from Singapore and Bridge+ CapitaLand from China. All three received top honours at the International Property Awards.

    The Asia Pacific Property Awards (part of the International Property Awards) celebrate the highest levels of achievement by companies operating in all sectors of the property and real estate industry. The awards are a world-renowned mark of excellence and given for the quality of design, construction and presentation of individual properties and property developments, interiors, architecture, and marketing.

    Space Matrix COO Jaiprakash Aildasani said, “We are delighted to have won the award for Best Office Interior for three of our landmark projects at the prestigious International Property Awards. The Northern Trust office is a one-of-its-kind project we undertook – an empathetic and multisensory workplace with employee wellness and inclusivity at its core. This recognition will help us rise to a higher playing field in office design and ensure that we only give our best in terms of future projects as well. We are looking forward to the award ceremony in September this year and the opportunity to network with some stalwarts in the industry as well.”

    Northern Trust’s innovative Pune office carries the brand’s value icon, a huge anchor right at the entrance. Space Matrix has strived to balance the energies with distinctive use of warm tones in the work area while giving meeting rooms a calmer appeal. There is an integral acoustical appeal that grants a serene aura to the office. Understanding how the five senses play a vital and complex role in forming thoughts, impressions and behaviours, Space Matrix has addressed these to help the organization build a strong emotional connection with its employees. Going with the core concept of inclusivity, there are also design cues that enable even the differently-abled to enjoy the wholesome experience.

    Space Matrix regional MD Akshay Lakhanpal said, “It is indeed an honour to win this prestigious award. The Northern Trust office was a one-of-its-kind design we created to mirror the organization’s values, emphasizing on employee productivity as a direct outcome of their health and wellness. We wanted to ensure that these values come out appropriately in every way possible, while also being intuitive towards those with special needs maintaining inclusivity. We look forward to the award ceremony in September 2020.”

    Space Matrix has received numerous other industry accolades due to its commitment to high-quality modern workspace and corporate office design. These include a consistent presence in Interior Design Magazine’s Top 100 Design Giants and several International Property Awards. The essence of Space Matrix’s unparalleled success is the seamless integration with each client’s vision, philosophies, values, and work culture. It is this insightful approach that has led Space Matrix to design inspirational workplaces for various clients.
