Inventure was brought on to transform two existing floors into a new workplace for Gulf, with the goal of aligning the inherited architecture and finishes with the company’s brand identity.
The project presented a unique design challenge: thoughtfully integrating existing elements—like carpet and ceiling systems—into a refreshed, cohesive environment that still felt distinctly Gulf.
To achieve this, we leaned into the geometry of the existing carpet and layered in Gulf’s brand colors to create visual continuity throughout the space. A grid-style storefront was introduced at office fronts, adding clarity and rhythm to the layout while reinforcing a clean, modern aesthetic.
We were intentional about where to elevate the design—focusing our efforts on high-impact areas such as the reception, elevator lobbies, and breakrooms.
These spaces feature upgraded finishes and brand-forward details that create a welcoming, polished experience for both visitors and staff. The result is a smart blend of reuse and refresh, delivering a workplace that reflects Gulf’s identity while making the most of existing conditions.
