Design & Build Highlights
Throughout ARCC@OMB, several lounges are interspersed in other parts of the floorplate to accommodate other needs: The ‘Collaboration Lounge’ features padded fabric-lined private booths and discussion areas buffered by greenery for acoustical privacy. A section within another discussion lounge comprises standing tables with hydraulic height adjustment; tailoring to different working preferences.
Breakout areas are adjacent to work areas so users can take frequent breaks from work and have casual socialization. With movable furniture, settings can also be flexibly configured here. After work, users can unwind without leaving the workspace. For example, the bar lounge in the ‘Drawing Room’ also doubles up as a place for socialization over drinks. Further underscoring a premium nature, communal spaces are designed to optimally capture panoramic views of the surrounding Marina Bay area – a treat in between long hours.
Challenges & Objectives
People nowadays crave workspaces that serve beyond function; spaces should also facilitate wellness and community building. Thus, the key design approach features dynamic spatial planning imbued with a hospitality approach. A series of signature zones was developed to offer a people-first experience – one that was seamless and productive, and holistically-rich and meaningful.
The space provides various work settings with the enhancement of productivity and well-being in mind, as well as well-positioned programmatic spaces that allow visual dialogues of the working community’s dynamics and energy. Meeting and event spaces seamlessly connect, allowing fluid movement between spaces and even activities with different setups and functional requirements.
Outcome / Results
Members have given positive feedback on usage of the space, and Arcc Spaces worked with us to design more offices around the region - in Shanghai, Beijing, and Kuala Lumpur. Arcc Spaces @ One Marina Boulevard also won multiple design awards such as the Singapore Good Design Award in 2022.
