Reception features a dramatic curving wall with an embedded aquarium, flanked by black wall panels and soft, flowing flooring. Natural light filters across the space. The entrance becomes a thoughtful transition: polished yet human, formal yet inviting.
At the frontier of first impressions, the reception area subverts expected corporate sharpness with unexpected calm. The curved feature wall unfolds fluidly, the built-in fish tank acting as living artwork—colour, motion and life integrated into what might otherwise be a purely formal setting. Black panels frame this focal point, their depth contrasting with the soft curves underfoot. Flooring sweeps gently, guiding visitors with subtle movement rather than rigid direction. Light from adjacent glazing plays across surfaces, highlighting texture and providing visual softness.
Beyond aesthetics, the reception is a threshold in both literal and psychological terms. It establishes Bloomberg’s design language: structured yet layered, architectural but not austere. The aquarium serves as a quiet moment, letting stress drop before one moves into high-performance work zones. Material choices—contrasting dark panels with lighter, softer elements—reinforce duality of work and wellbeing. Even at the point of entry, the design speaks of mindfulness, human centricity and a spatial narrative that sets the tone for what’s inside.
