Amana Capital Offices

Amana Capital is a Financial Services Group specialized in providing brokerage services in international financial markets – currencies, commodities and stock indices.

Swiss Bureau was asked to create a new workplace environment that showcased the sophisticated and versatile nature of the firm. The word Amana means ‘integrity’, and we wanted to design the office to reflect this idea of unity and cohesion to stay true to the brand’s essence. The concept further evolved being inspired by their logo which in many ways can be interpreted as the ‘solidarity of unison’. The curved walls and the sweeping lines of the flooring and ceiling through the space to create a sinuous architecture echoing the brand identity.

The material palette is a selection of warm wood, greys, blues, white and soft taupes creating a comfortable and inviting environment, with accents of brass and chrome seen in furniture and lighting. The black powder coated framed glass partitions create a simple pure form with strip lights highlighting the curves. The open workstations are situated along the windows and private offices are glass-fronted, lending an open, bright, and modern feel to the space. The MD rooms have the best views out to DIFC and furnished with contemporary soft lounge seating. The boardroom is an unconventional shape, and the table is customized to match the footprint of the room, and flanked by back painted glass and wood walls. The meeting rooms have white concrete walls with a dark vinyl flooring, light chairs, a glass table with customized chrome legs and decorative pendants.
