This award winning corporate headquarters and operational centre for the
then newly established telecommunications company takes on the challenge
of creating a "high-tech, high-touch" ambiance for staff and visitors alike.
With the innovative use and combination of materials and details, it won
the 6th Singapore Institute of Architects Interior Architecture Award for
commercial interiors.
The large floor plate at StarHub Centre (35,000 square feet) revolves around
a circulation spine which doubles as an exhibition gallery for corporate
advertising. All workstations are in clusters of 2, 4, 5 & 6, encouraging
teamwork & group dynamics. Centred in each department is a semi-enclosed
meeting "pod", each of which has a different shape in order to create
individual identities for the departments. The board rooms are designed as
a series of warm timber horizontal planes with perforated beech paneling.
A delicately framed steel & tempered glass balustrade staircase connects
the 2 floors. [ Read review ] |
