About Fusing with Nature Office Design

Fusing with Nature is an office interior design for a hybrid workforce, arranged across three levels with a total area of 9,300 square meters. Nature-themed collaboration hubs and small meeting spots are placed throughout the floors to support activity-based work and to connect employees working remotely. Varied layouts suit different group sizes and tasks, encouraging people to change posture and move during the day. Energy-efficient LED lighting, plants, refurbished furniture and recycling points support wellness and sustainability.

Press Kit

Unique Properties: SAP's revamped office reflects a holistic design solution for a hybrid workforce. Taking into consideration office footprint, employee wellness, technology, and ESG policies, natured-themed collaboration hubs and huddle spots are scattered across the three-storey office to support activity-based work and connect employees who are working remotely.
Dimensions & Packaging: This project spans across 3 levels, with a total area of 9,300 square meters in size.
Tags: Hybrid, Thematic, Innovative, Collaborative, Agile, Biophilic, Experiential, Sustainable, ESG
Production Technology: To align with the Singapore Green Plan for a sustainable future, we sought to dedicate at least five percent of the total space to eco-friendly innovations such as energy-efficient LED bulbs and biophilia that minimizes indoor air pollutants. Creative refurbishment was also made to various furniture to improve durability and align with the design theme. Recycling bins are placed along the corridors or constructed within the pantry carpentry. Biophilic elements and sustainable materials were also used where possible.
Design Challenge: Being on a large floorplate across three different levels, it was important to ensure connectivity both vertically and horizontally. Our design team focused on implementing a creative concept that would bind the spaces together, whilst taking into consideration office footprint, care for the environment, employee wellness and incorporation of technology - to provide a holistic interior design solution that offers flexibility and agilty.
Research: Through a workplace survey conducted by a workplace strategy consultant, we understood that 88% of SAP's employees spent less than half of their working day at their desks. With this, we redesigned the workplace to encourage a roaming culture by transforming the office into an environment that best suits the tasks employees have at hand.
Inspiration: Drawing insights on collaboration patterns and the needs of different departments, we planned a diverse range of configurations to suit different group sizes and work settings. This agile design creates a palette of place that encourages people to change postures, move around throughout the day, and be more engaged with their workplace. With a focus on employee wellness and sustainability, our design team sought to create a pleasant work environment with the use of thematic collaboration hubs that evoke the dynamic qualities of nature, bringing the outdoors in to fuse workspace and nature into one.
Project Duration: The project started in February 2021, and was completed in September 2021 at 30 MapleTree Business City, Singapore.
