Miminat Designs, repurposed a pottery studio into a private commercial office for Giant Ventures, a venture capital firm. The office seamlessly merges a cozy ambiance with a professional corporate setting—an unconventional feat in itself.

Bathed in natural light from expansive glass ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows, the spaces radiate warmth and sophistication. Sustainable raw materials like wood, jute, and stone anchor the design, while touches of luxe velvet, glass, and brass impart an air of elegance. The extensive use of various timber species, including British Oak, Ash, Mahogany, Wenge, Zebrano, and Walnut, enhances the overall aesthetic across flooring, walls, and furniture.
