Main office area |
I needed a space – a space to work with others, and yet it has to be a place for my aspirations. Not any aspirations but my zenith aspirations.
Bright and airy, cosy and warm, casual yet formal. Was I asking too much? I don’t think so as I knew this place exists somewhere or I could create it.
This brought back memories when we first decorated our abode. I was missing a piece for the living room. I wanted a bench to complete the living room. A bench, to most, is just a bench. But to me, it was not. I didn’t know what style of a bench I wanted but I know I would recognize the bench when I see it. I would go into furniture shops looking for ‘this’ bench but I could not find it. The man could not understand how different can a bench be? I ended up looking for ‘this’ bench for 3 years. The minute I laid eyes on ‘the’ bench I knew I found my bench. It was love at first sight. Now it has been sitting in my living room for more than ten years.
Nomad rice bench |
This beautiful bench was originally used by the nomads to transport their rice supplies. It is carved out of a solid tree trunk. I now use it as a bench as well as board games storage space.
"Hello" foyer |
My aspiration space – I’ve found the blank canvas and created the ambience. This space is to nurture my aspirations, fill it with fun, inspirations and along the way transform lives.
For serious work |
Zenith is derived from Arabic samt ar-ras 'the way or road above one's head - figuratively, the point of culmination; the greatest height. To me personally, my zenith aspirations, dreams, ambitions are only words.
"Skies" - the meeting room... |
It is only when I can combine these words with a fervor to make them a reality that these words become tangible. I aspire to make mine a reality, but always keeping in mind what a good friend once told me ......
..with practice putting green |
work hard but "always take time to smell the roses". With that in mind, I created my new office space combining formal business space with casual ambience and lots of colours.
