Noble Energy Offices

This square-format photograph presents a contemporary corporate lounge interior viewed from a standing position approximately three meters from the seating area, looking toward a wall-mounted media and display unit. Beginning with orientation, the space is characterized by cool aquamarine tones that wash over walls, ceiling elements, and floor surfaces, creating an atmosphere like standing in shallow tropical waters or being surrounded by sea glass. The ceiling occupies the upper quarter of the image, revealing exposed industrial infrastructure including silver ductwork pipes running horizontally and a framework of teal-painted metal supporting angled louvers and perforated panels, all illuminated by warm linear LED strips that trace architectural edges like veins of light. A diagonal screen of slatted metal and wood bars frames the left edge of the composition, creating a rhythm of parallel lines that partially filters the view beyond, the texture suggesting the feel of running fingers across closely spaced wooden blinds. Through this screen, two chairs upholstered in warm coral fabric reminiscent of sun-warmed terracotta become visible, their curved shell forms appearing soft and yielding against the geometric rigor of the surrounding architecture. These chairs face a small round wooden side table, creating an intimate conversation grouping. The central focal point occupies the back wall, where a rectangular built-in shelving unit in natural oak wood frames a large display screen, the warm honey tones of the wood providing pleasant contrast against the cool wall. The shelves contain small potted plants with fresh green leaves, decorative vessels, and circular sculptural objects that catch ambient light. Black pendant lights with wide conical shades descend at varying heights in the middle ground, their matte surfaces absorbing rather than reflecting light. The foreground reveals the corner of a gray upholstered sofa and two organic-shaped wooden coffee tables with natural grain visible, positioned on a distressed area rug whose worn texture suggests soft wool underfoot. Floor-to-ceiling sheer curtains at left filter natural daylight into a soft, even glow. The overall sensation is one of sophisticated calm, where industrial elements meet residential warmth.

Noble Energy is an independent exploration and production company, which energizes the world by safely and responsibly delivering oil and natural gas to the marketplace. Noble Energy Israel is drilling natural gas from Mediterranean reservoirs. The main inspiration of the design was the gas platform: its geometry, its materiality and color scheme, and the feeling one has standing on it.
