In this project, Impact Hub-Dar es Salaam wanted to revamp the interior of their office. The building had different rooms with different functions like offices, meeting rooms, studios, etc., which needed refurbishment and minor restorations. However, the interior condition was good, so the main task was furniture layout designing and a bit of interior decor.

Our concept and inspiration are rooted in a minimalistic and modern look with an accent on African art, patterns, and fabrics. In addition, impact Hub being an art activism platform, we wanted its interior space to be part of an art exhibition.

We wanted to coin the concept of walls, floors, and ceilings to be like canvases and African crafts and artifacts to be like a beautiful paintings resting on them. To do that, we had to leave walls and ceiling with clear white color and a uniform gray carpet on the floor so that murals, rugs, furniture textures, fabrics, and other interior decor could stand out in the space with clear visibility and prominence.

In addition, we also managed to cut a chunk of cost from the budget by using a carpet, which was a much cheaper option than other floor materials. Also, we painted walls and ceilings with washable white paint, which was affordable and maintainable.
