The upside of having an office in an industrial building is the size, and HOFT chose to emphasise this with a spacious open-concept layout, complete with communal seating areas (and even an island!).

Having tons of cosy areas and seating allows the employees to host celebrations amongst themselves for camaraderie, and also creates a comfortable setting for clients who come over for meetings. .

Of note are the meeting rooms, which are separated by glass panels instead of regular walls. Doing so doesn’t just help to keep meetings contained within their respective rooms, but also prevents employees from feeling boxed in.

WFH is a normal thing now, but if we had an office like this, we wouldn’t mind heading down everyday! Designed by Bowerman, this gorgeous office is full of design elements influenced by local culture, which is no doubt also inspired by the conservation shophouse it’s located in.
