Located at Raffles City Tower, a leading  security company’s new Singapore office is designed to facilitate their technical operations efficiently and display a strong brand identity and global presence.   

AHEAD OF ITS TIME 

For the past 23 years, they have established presence in 16 countries worldwide with multiple regional offices. Inspired by the range of technological solutions they provide, DB&B’s design for the front office exudes a futuristic vibe with the use of coloured florescent lights embedded within the walls.  To highlight this concept, hexagonal shapes and sleek light strips are applied throughout the space.  

The clean white walls and floors embedded with LED light strips create a futuristic welcoming experience.   

FUTURISTIC WELCOME 

Leveraging on the layout of the main entrance, the design of the arrival space is kept minimalist and lined with florescent light to mimic a hi-tech portal. The waiting area for guests is fitted with alcove seats in the shape of a hexagon and accompanied with comfortable lounge chairs in matching colours. 

Alcove seats are carved out near the entrance, allowing guests to wait for their hosts. 

MULTI-PURPOSE DRIVEN 

Connected to the waiting area, a lounge is created to serve as the social centre of the office. This space can be used to host guests, or for employees to congregate for meals and open discussions. To facilitate periodic lunch and learn sessions, loose furniture curated here allows for flexible reconfiguration. Next to the lounge is the boardroom designed for meetings that require a formal and private setting.  

The ceiling is dressed with acoustic panels wrapped over a hexagonal frame to extend the design concept. 
To inject biophilia into the space, the pillars are cladded with greenery and wooden trellis.   

A GLOBAL PRESENCE 

For semiprivate discussions, separate booths are carved out along a corridor. The booth seats are framed with silhouettes of landmarks from Singapore, Boston and Israel, a strong reference to where their headquarters are located, reflecting their global presence. 

Graphic walls featuring landmarks from their key markets reinforce their global presence.  

USER-CENTRIC WORKSPACE 

An IT helpdesk dedicated to providing in-house solutions to their employees.  

The company also prioritises the internal security protocols set for their employees. To support the functions of their IT Team efficiently, the back office is thoughtfully laid out with a hub to provide IT support to the employees. This space is paired with a dry pantry and bar seats so employees have a waiting space while their equipment is being looked into.  

Lockers are placed near work stations for accessibility and promote a clean desk policy.  

Workstations are also configured differently to meet the needs of various departments. Desks for the IT department are specially selected to match with confidentiality requirements, while other teams allow for more transparency, without panels. To encourage movement throughout the day, height adjustable 120-degree workstations are also available.  

Providing a variety of workstations with different levels of privacy for different working styles. 
Enclosed spaces are made available for private discussions and to support conference calls with employees working remotely.  

For private discussions at the back office, phone rooms, meeting spaces and private offices are lined along the inner perimeter of the space. To inject textures into the meeting spaces, the rooms are cladded with backlit acoustic panels. 

A WELL-BALANCED SPACE 

Overall, this 10,700 square feet space is designed to honour the brand identity and needs of their employees. The mix of open collaboration spaces and private rooms, along with customised amenities work well together to create a well-balanced space for their Singapore team.
