The Design Concept
Inspired by hospitality interiors, the design approach embraces the resimercial trend, melding residential warmth with commercial sophistication. The use of plush textures, soft lighting, and elegant materials creates an inviting workspace that feels refined yet approachable. A harmonious blend of natural wood, Statuario marble, and brass accents reinforces the luxurious yet functional aesthetic.
TwentyOne06’s expertise in spatial storytelling ensures that each design element is intentional, catering to the needs of modern professionals who seek both comfort and a premium office experience.
The Design Direction
The project’s design philosophy centers on craftsmanship, materiality, and longevity. The office is designed not only to exude exclusivity but also to maintain durability and efficiency in a high-traffic work environment.
By utilizing natural, high-quality materials, such as Glazesupplied natural marble and warm beige wood, the space embodies timeless elegance while ensuring resilience against daily wear and tear. Each material was chosen to enhance the sensory experience, from the tactile richness of wood grain to the cool sophistication of polished marble surfaces.
This design direction ensures that The Knowledge Academy’s office stands as a benchmark for resimercial workspace interiors—both aesthetically compelling and functionally superior. 360-

A defining feature of the office is its meticulously integrated natural marble, reinforcing the high-end aesthetic while ensuring longevity. The entrance corridor walls are clad in polishededge Statuario marble slabs, accentuated by brass partitions that amplify the visual impact. This refined material selection not only expands the perception of space but also establishes an immediate impression of sophistication.
The Art of Detailing
By seamlessly integrating luxury with functionality, TwentyOne06 has designed a workspace that enhances employee experience, operational efficiency, and brand prestige. The Knowledge Academy’s Dubai office now stands as a benchmark for resimercial workspace excellence, embodying a future-forward approach to office design that is both sophisticated and sustainable.
In the realm of commercial interior design, it can be challenging to create a space which is both opulent and operationally effective. By harnessing its experience in hospitality design, TwentyOne06 was able to design a resimercial environment suited to the client’s luxurious taste, while being able to withstand the test of daily operations.
