This is a project for an office in a light industrial area in Singapore. Buildings in such areas have low ceiling and big floor plates.
The client acquired an office space with a combined floor area of 400 sqm. Large floor plate coupled with low ceiling resulted in a very oppressive space, which is the given condition of the project.
The client’s brief for this office consisted of Lounge, Conference Room, Open Office, Rooms and Support Facilities. These elements are organized in Bands of contrasting qualities: Expansive and Compressive, Public and Private, Light and Dark.
A route is orchestrated so that one’s movement through the office oscillates between these spaces of contrasting spatial qualities.
