While GTV’s logo is a feisty chilli red and Teleport’s is a cool white, the designers chose an industrial look as a neutral base. To mitigate the potentially sombre effect, the designers played with lighting and vibrant orange to “raise the spirits in the design”. Additionally, the industrial style is reinforced with iron plates, rivets, concrete paint, and concrete flooring throughout. The aviation inspiration can be seen again when walking around the space on the “runway”, lit up with light strips above. Apart from being a guide of sorts for guests, the designers’ intention for the kinetic design flourishes was to encourage the GTV and Teleport team to move forward as if a plane is taking- off and gather momentumwith higher efficiency. The office area (Teleport and GTV have separate working areas) is demarcated with a row of perforated panels. These perforated panels were specifically chosen to ensure the space retained an open feel yet gave a sense of privacy to the team when they were at their desks. 25
