Secret Salon

An equitable space that can be enjoyed by all – this was the centrepiece of the revamp of an existing hair salon in an HDB enclave. The welcoming “community space” allows the neighbourhood ‘aunties’ to sit, call out the ‘ah boys’ to the “secret” salon and have their daily cup of tea while chit-chatting with their peers.

BBC Studios & BBC Global News, Singapore Office

The design goal for this new office is to create an environment that inspires world-class broadcasting and suits the regional office’s mobile workforce. With a pantry at the heart of its design, this office is spilt into two distinct zones, one catering to social interaction and another for productive focused work. The hot-desking arrangement has desks allocated to 71% of the staff headcount.

East Coast Park Rejuvenation

A refreshed experience while paying homage to its history – this revamp of Singapore’s largest park encapsulates the theme, aesthetics and park experience. Designed to create meaningful relationships between the physical space and users by connecting people with nature and activating spaces for people’s enjoyment, everything — from signages, landscaping to sustainability of the park’s buildings — has been improved.

DBS Facilities Reporting Tool

Want to report a fault in office facilities? DBS employees can do so in three easy steps after the revamp of its employee workspace facilities reporting tool. Optimised for use on mobile phones, the log-in process has been streamlined. Staff data is pre-populated, making the process easier and faster. Adoption of this tool has since increased by over 100%.
