Tech-led healthcare company Doctor Anywhere (DA) enlisted Conexus Studio to design and build their Singapore headquarters with the aims of implementing an innovative hybrid workplace strategy that would suit their growing team. A key priority was creating an environment where employees could thrive, fostering productivity, creativity and community among team members whether they're on-the-go or at locations across Southeast Asia.

The industrial-chic interior design utilises raw materials and exposed ductwork that give the office a gritty sensibility, while at the same time providing a blank canvas for the innovative work that happens there every day. This juxtaposition of the raw and refined, combined with its unobstructed wraparound sea and city views is what makes DA's office so unique – and undeniably inspiring.

Bringing Everyone Together

Key to the success of the workplace design was fostering social connections and team collaboration. To achieve this, the south-facing wing, with its generous ocean-view terrace, was envisioned as a vibrant hub that encourages staff and visitors to interact and mingle spontaneously. It is home to lounge and cafe settings, as well as visitor meeting rooms and a flexible training hub with operable walls that could open up to create a generous open space for hosting the company's quarterly all-hands meetings.

Working, (Doctor) Anywhere Style

Following an employee poll that showed the majority preferred a hybrid approach balancing both working from home (WFH) and physical in-office meetings, the office is designed to facilitate an agile and collaborative workforce. Diverse space types — from chill-out corners to privacy pods — in the open-plan zones to support different work styles and uses, a feature that makes the workplace more organic and ensures easy discussion and collaboration.
