M Moser Associates have recently completed the design of a new office for Masan Group. The Vietnam-based holding company desired the office for their Singaporean staff to be based on the idea of connectedness, and meant to link people with one another and with the company itself.
A few notes from the designers:
“In some respects, this workplace seems more dreamscape than workscape. But get beyond the initial surreal impressions and a solid logic emerges: Located in Singapore, Masan Group’s first office outside Vietnam was conceived as a statement of the firm’s rise in international prominence, its forward-looking character, and as an acknowledgment of its deep roots in Asian tradition. This office is all about connection – to a way of working, to people, and to the soul of the company itself.
The site selected for the project was a 5,000 sq-ft, level 5 space in OUE Bayfront, at Singapore’s prestigious Marina Bay. M Moser Associates was asked to create the design, and began the process with an intensive collaboration with Masan to discover in detail the essence of the company’s background and its future aspirations.
