IN DEPTH
THE SOCIAL NETWORK
THIS MULTITUDE OF MULTI-USE SPACES CATER TO EMPLOYEES’ VARIOUS NEEDS OF REFRESH, FOCUS AND SOCIALISATION, CENTRED AROUND PRIORITISING AND SUPPORTING THEIR MENTAL WELLBEING.
Our design scheme strategically co-locates these zones in adjacency to one another and seamlessly weaves its social spaces via a distributary of communal pathways. This thoughtful collage of spaces encourages dynamic and active employee engagement; thereby, deeply nurturing the spirit of collaboration and authentically fostering a sense of belonging that are transformative for its workplace culture and productivity. In fact, it was observed that levels of socialisation have increased without detriment to productivity. Staff wellbeing has also reportedly improved as the multitude of spaces better cater to their needs. Biophilic and wellbeing design strategies are layered into our spatial programming to ensure that the design scheme truly delivers on employee wellbeing. Borrowing from and connecting to its surrounding outdoor spaces, we introduced an enveloping landscape throughout the workspace. This use of and proximity to nature immediately imbues the workplace with a sense of calm and wellness; thereby, positively contributing to the mental and emotional wellbeing of employees. In fact, employee feedback has been that the presence of greenery throughout the office has given the workplace a soothing ambience, conducive for work. Beyond the choice of material and colour palette, other wellbeing design strategies we’ve applied includes the reduction of light glares in the doublevolume, high glazing space with the installation of circadian lighting system which automatically and intuitively adjusts its lux level and lighting temperature throughout the day. 36
