Shanghai EXPO Place Office Experience Centre
Shanghai Expo Land, located along the Huangpu River in the Expo district, stands as a landmark urban waterfront complex. Benoy was tasked with the interior design and commercial planning for its boutique shopping centre and office spaces.
To elevate both the aesthetics and functionality, Benoy crafted a premier multi-purpose experience centre, thoughtfully designed to cater to user needs and customer groups. The centre features four themed levels, using a“one step, one scene” method that enriches visitor engagement through dynamic spatial design.
The layout, enhanced by interplays of light and shadow, fosters inviting atmospheres, complemented by a minimalist ceiling and natural marble accents for a sophisticated touch. This one-way flow design immerses visitors in captivating experiences while directing foot traffic, encompassing meeting areas, reception spaces, model displays, landscape lounges, and multimedia audio-visual zones.
Benoy Singapore Studio exemplifies forward-looking flexibility through a design that maximizes productivity and comfort. Spanning 536 sqm, this innovative workplace embraces agile working principles with adaptable workspaces, private acoustic pods, and collaborative zones tailored to individual needs.
With a strong commitment to the environment, the studio prioritizes wellness and sustainability, incorporating biophilic elements and eco-friendly materials while repurposing existing furniture. The unique parallelogram layout fosters a balance between communal engagement and focused work, integrating ergonomic solutions and seamless connectivity to promote creativity and collaboration.
From the open galleria to “The Loft,” every area encourages spontaneous meetings and teamwork, allowing for 15 sqm per person for workplace well-being. Located on the 21st floor of Singapore’s Gateway building, the Benoy Singapore Studio exemplifies our commitment to shaping a sustainable, people-centric future through design.
