The Perfect Balance: Aesthetics vs Functionality

At IDI, we believe that every company is unique, and understanding our client’s work culture and core values is crucial in creating a space that meets their needs. We achieve this by optimising flexible workspaces with adaptable designs that cater to their requirements. By doing so, we can create a workspace that not only looks great but also functions efficiently.

The Power of Sustainability

Esther is passionate about creating workplaces that inspire and uplift. She believes that sustainable design is the way forward, as it not only benefits the environment but also sparks innovation and financial optimization for businesses. By incorporating sustainable design elements, companies can minimise waste, energy usage, and environmental impact, leading to a competitive advantage.

Design Elements that Shine

What makes an office space truly shine? According to Esther, it’s all about versatility. Every company has different values and needs, and we will create a space that aligns with these values. This can include quiet meeting areas for concentration, creative spaces for collaboration, and spaces to unwind. Comfort should also be a top priority.

Driven by HEART

At IDI, our core value is HEART, we believe that every task should be done with heart, and every design element should work together to achieve a clear purpose and goal. As we take pride in paying close attention to our clients’ needs throughout the entire project process.

Thank you, Esther, for sharing your expertise with us. We look forward to seeing exciting designs that IDI Malaysia will bring to life.
