A studio of workplace
designers & builders.

Nayadaftar — literally 'new ledger' — was founded on the idea that where people work shapes how they work. We design and build commercial office interiors under one roof.

Manifesto // 01

Design for the
work that happens.

We believe an office is not a container for people — it is a tool for performance. Every decision we make — from the depth of a workstation to the colour temperature of a light fitting — is in service of the work that happens inside.

Every project begins with a workplace audit: how do your teams collaborate? Where do they focus? How fast are you growing? We don't draw a line until we understand the behaviour the space needs to support.

The studio is intentionally small — eighteen people across strategy, design, and project management. We take on ten to twelve office fit-outs a year, which means every client gets partner attention and every site gets weekly reviews.
