THE MELDING OF HOSPITALITY AND CORPORATE ELEMENTS IS ALSO REFLECTED IN THE CAREFULLY CURATED MATERIAL PALETTE THAT OFFERS A DIVERSITY OF TEXTURES.
The Work Suite infuses the warm and welcoming tones of hotels within a corporate setting. On the office’s first level, staff and visitors are greeted by a grand arched-ceiling lift lobby, before being ushered into the daylight-filled reception lounge. Envisioned as a space for huddling, the lounge with breakout rooms accommodates for different meeting formats. Its mirrored ceiling further captures and enhances the dynamism of the space. The use of tapestry is reminiscent of hotel lobbies, accentuating the hospitality nature of this unique workplace. The melding of hospitality and corporate elements is also reflected in the carefully curated material palette that offers a diversity of textures. Upholsteries with floral patterns introduce a soft luxury associated with hotels, while reflective and sophisticated metal finishes in champagne tones used for fixtures and details provide a contemporary corporate edge. These are paired with light timber elements that contribute towards a warm atmosphere. By balancing the two distinct yet complementary ambiences, a harmonious blend is created.
