TEZ Coworking Space
Roles performed : Design Conceptualization, Visualization
Every wall has the power to tell a story. This one started with a simple need—to shield the server room from dust near the entry.
Instead of leaving it plain, we imagined the entrance as a space that would welcome people and stay with them through the day. In today’s social media world, we also wanted it to feel “Instagram-worthy.”
Together with Ajith, an artist and mural curator, we transformed this protective wall into a canvas. The mural was designed to capture the spirit of Chennai in an abstract, eye-catching way—without the use of words.
The blank wall near the entrance was always getting dirty from hands and feet. Instead of leaving it plain, we turned it into a striking artwork that would both protect the wall and catch people’s attention. The client wanted to celebrate monuments that have stood the test of time, so we reimagined them as line art and arranged them into a large collage. To keep it timeless and elegant, we chose a monochrome look instead of adding color.
The design was inspired by arches, a recurring feature across the space. The artwork (10 ft x 14 ft) was broken into smaller modules using CAD, then cut on MDF boards with a CNC machine. On-site, the pieces were assembled like a puzzle—glued and screwed onto the wall. By layering components across five levels, the artwork created a sense of depth and visual movement. Finally, spray painting and lighting added dimension, while placing it at eye level made it feel warm, inviting, and perfectly proportioned for the space.

I thought—why not turn a wall into a piece of art that tells a story?
