From Blueprint to Reality
Designing interiors of Hykon’s State-of-the-Art Facility
The very first time I walked into a meeting about this mammoth structure, I honestly had no clue what was going on. The conversations were filled with technical abbreviations and jargon that flew right over my head. But once I tuned in and learned the language of the project, I slowly found my rhythm.
Christo, his son George and wife Ansa came in with such clarity of vision, it was refreshing. They wanted something far beyond the typical look of a factory. Their dream was a refined, modern facility that would feel welcoming, yet functional. Hykon’s corporate blue was to be woven in, subtly but meaningfully. At first, I thought it might be tricky, but soon we found ways to let the colour quietly shine through in the discussion rooms, training halls, and more.
Spread across nearly 50,000 sq. ft., the space tells its own story. The front flows into offices, training and display areas, reception, cafeteria, and more. The back hums with energy from the assembly line. And because Christo is deeply invested in R&D, a significant area was dedicated exclusively to innovation and research.
Looking back, I feel truly proud that we at Illusions could help bring this vision to life. None of it would have been possible without the unwavering efforts of our lead designer, Er. Varsha, who devoted her time and talent to the designs, drawings, and endless queries with such patience. My heartfelt thanks also go to the many skilled hands who made this project a reality, Rafeek and Nihas from Master Builders for the flooring, Rafeek and Nishad from Ideal Interior solutions for the interiors, Francis for the lighting, Arun for the signage, Premkumar for the steel work, Anupa from Velocity, and so many others whose contributions were invaluable.
For me, this project wasn’t just about designing the interiors of a factory. It was about learning, adapting, and above all, building trust. A heartfelt thank you to Christo for believing in me and my team. This one will always remain close to my heart.
