Metaspace Design

A design firm based in Kochi, India - With Jacob George as our principal designer, we craft Architecture, Interiors, Products, and more. We are Metaspace.

We as an architectural design consultancy, strive to develop projects which bridge the gap between the built and natural environment. Our mantra is 'Towards Holism'. Where "Holism" seeks to address every element of building – from the multiple and immediate needs of our clients to the long term needs of humanity. And all of this has to be made possible with technologies and systems that are both e

fficient and flexible - those that reflect the fast changing world we live in. The health and well-being of both the people who inhabit our buildings and the environment our buildings inhabit, Biophilic design and environmental sustainability are the foundations on which our practice is built. We do not design our buildings to exhibit any particular "style". We do not advocate historical precedent, nor, at the other extreme – do we subscribe to short-lived design fads and the "isms" that seem to sprout in ever increasing numbers. We stay away from all the distracting noise that pervades the design space, instead opting for a simple and timeless elegance that is dictated by function, technology, human and environmental wellbeing and logic. Our practice also takes pride in ensuring that every detail down to the last bolt is “designed” as we believe that bold and exciting conceptual ideas without intelligent detailing is only half a solution. We believe that Form and Function are equal partners in our design solutions. Neither is less important, but form evolves from the functional exigencies of space, structure and detail rather than being an aesthetic priority that is an end in itself. The meaningful practice of Architecture in Metaspace is inherently infused with one overarching goal: to push the envelope. What drives and excites us is the continuous search for new solutions – not for the sake of being” different”, but because we believe that every new day is an opportunity for us to improve on what we had done the previous day, and that new problems and technologies call for new ideas rather than the regurgitation of decades old ways of doing business. And yes, we WANT to be excited everyday - because it is that excitement that fuels innovation.

Jacob George Residence

This house was designed to illustrate several design ideas that Jacob George has long held, but never been able to implement. It is designed to be totally modular, with comfort and ease of maintenance (apart from the usual architectural niceties) being the main aim the design aspires to achieve. The project began as a personal experiment in architectural logic, testing whether a home could be built entirely around repeatable modules rather than conventional construction intuition. The result is a 2,370 sq.ft residence structured on an 8’×4’ grid, where walls, glazing, and even spatial planning follow a single dimensional rule. This approach reduces waste, simplifies future modification, and turns flexibility into the central design principle rather than an afterthought. That system extends into how the house behaves. Large sliding panels allow entire walls to disappear, transforming rooms into open pavilions that merge with the landscape. Deep verandas and shaded edges provide passive climatic control, while a restrained material palette of wood, shade netting, and simple finishes ensures the architecture remains calm, functional, and adaptable over time. All walls are prefab bison board panels. Wiring and plumbing are therefore easily accessible and repairs and changes can be made without resorting to messy break-age. It also illustrates how one can design to respond to the climate without resorting to traditional architecture style of the region. Jacob George won the Inside Outside Architect of the Year – 2005 award for this project.

Spread across a 2.62-acre site in the heart of Infopark Phase 2, this 2,26,000 sq.ft development for Caspian Techparks India Pvt. Ltd. is conceived as a built expression of growth and progress within the IT sector—an ethos championed by the Infopark Authority in the state.

The project is envisioned as a phased development comprising two buildings. The first building features a simple, open floor plate designed to maximize tenant usability and adaptability. Its flexible planning allows each floor to be efficiently subdivided into halves or quarters, accommodating multiple tenants without compromising functionality or spatial quality. Shallow floor plates maximize the ingress of light, which is appreciated by the tenants.

The second building is conceived with a focus on speed, precision, and efficiency, utilizing precast concrete technology. Each floor is assembled using factory-made slabs and columns, enabling rapid on-site construction. The precast work of the superstructure for this 11-storey building was completed in a record time of just 80 days, with the overall building handed over in 12 months. The floor plate is designed to maximise space efficiency.

Set on a compact 1.92-ground (approx. 10-cent) plot in the heart of Nungambakkam, this 9,000 sq.ft contemporary residence embodies biophilic design within a dense urban fabric. The client’s requirement for a 5 BHK home prompted a vertical layout across three levels, balancing functionality with openness and light. The result is a refined expression of tropical modernism—relaxed, sophisticated, and designed for seamless indoor–outdoor living.

Conceived to support rapid expansion, this 55,000 sq.ft open-plan workspace blends industrial grit with executive elegance, defined by a disciplined language of clean lines and precise architectural alignment. The underlying philosophy harmonizes the client's high-tech AI ethos with the organic warmth of wood and plants, creating a balanced environment that prioritizes the innate well-being of humans.

All furniture was custom-designed and fabricated to reflect a minimalist, streamlined aesthetic. A sense of lightness is reinforced through floating wooden grid ceilings, cantilevered executive desks, and wall panels elevated above the floor plane. Floors are a combination of functional carpet tiles and real wood planks in the executive areas. "Biophilia" is incorporated by a continuous line of indoor plants all around the periphery of the space, while geometric area rugs introduce subtle pops of color within the airy open-plan layout.

The design of this 55,000 sq.ft office space was conceived in response to the client’s rapid organizational growth and the need to accommodate a significant increase in staff while supporting evolving business operations. The resulting environment blends industrial grit with warm executive elegance, creating a contemporary open-plan workplace. Clean lines and precise alignment—across furniture, lighting, wall paneling, and architectural elements—establish a cohesive and disciplined design language throughout the floor.

The fundamental design philosophy was one of marrying the high-tech ethos of a cutting edge IT/AI company with the warmth and grace of wood and plants, which human beings are programmed to genetically respond positively to.

Upon entry, visitors are greeted by a minimalist reception desk set against a dynamic video wall, and a cascading water curtain creating the backdrop to the reception area, which together create an exciting visual experience while offering a subtle layer of visual privacy to the secured office zones beyond. A clear circulation path wraps around the central core, defined by a ‘starlight’ ceiling and a wood edged carpet of a different finish, both of which enhances way finding, and naturally guides movement along the main corridor.
