DESIGN DETAILS |
DESIGN NAME: A Truly Sustainable Asian Hub, Danone
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Office Design
INSPIRATION: Inspired by the vision and mission of the brand, the office was designed to provide a sustainable, collaborative and community engaging environment. As the office hosts both regional visiting and local based employees, an agile work setting was recommended to appeal to both groups. Representing the Asia Pacific region, the workplace embraces unique and eclectic cultures by incorporating country themes for each zone whilst remaining committed to sustainability.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The workplace was planned with a ‘neighbourhood’ concept. Tailored workstations for various working styles. Majority of the seats are unassigned and users are free to choose accordingly. Manager rooms can adapt to meeting rooms seamlessly. The reception holds an impressive greenwall and plenty of greenery are peppered around the office. Sustainable innovations such as the charge as you ride, self powered cycling devices can generate power to charge mobile phones motivate users to choose an active lifestyle. Danone attained the BCA Greenmark Platinum Award.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Studies such as surveys, interviews and workshops were conducted to discern the needs of the users for better understanding. Findings revealed an agile work setting will appeal to both the regional and local employees, providing the flexibility and support they needed. To create a coherent design theme, the design team and the Client handpicked each furniture and display thematic accessories in each space. Design team also visited Danone Paris to experience the pilot project that adopted ABW settings successfully.
CHALLENGE: This workplace had to be ‘agile’ to cater to its regional and local employees and at the same time, while reflecting a strong company's vision and mission. The team was tasked to meet the objective of transforming the office into an open, flexible and dynamic workplace, supporting the needs of diverse employees.

I'm absolutely blown away by DB&B's award-winning "A Truly Sustainable Asian Hub, Danone" work! The attention to detail and commitment to sustainability is truly inspiring. The "neighbourhood" concept of the office design is brilliant, allowing for tailored workstations for different working styles and unassigned seating, allowing for flexibility and freedom for users. The greenwall and the green elements peppered around the office are the perfect touch and make the work truly stand out. The self-powered cycling devices to generate power to charge mobile phones is a great idea and motivates users to choose an active lifestyle. Above all, the design reflects the brand's vision and mission of sustainability and collaboration, and the research conducted to ensure the needs of the users are met is commendable. DB&B's work is truly an example of great design and deserves all the accolades it has received!
