Challenge

As workplaces evolve, choice and variety have become defining expectations in the legal workplace. The next generation of legal talent is seeking more dynamic and restorative work environments. This confidential law firm engaged Gensler to design its new Singapore office, tasking the team with translating a London office experience into a distinctly Singapore setting. The challenge: maintain brand continuity while introducing local character and integrating multifunctional spaces that support collaboration and focused work.

Solution

Gensler brought together its London and Singapore studios in a cross-office collaboration, adapting the design language from the client’s London office for the Singapore office. Along with soft edges, biophilic curves, and light wood tones, Gensler incorporated colour drawn from Singapore’s vibrant city life and motifs of the country’s deep maritime heritage to root the space in its context.

Impact

The Singapore office creates a refined work destination that aligns with the client’s brand values of integrity, professional excellence, and exceptional client service. Design continuity with the London office reinforces global brand cohesion, while Singapore‑specific elements enhance client perception and deepen staff pride. The new workspace elevates the daily experience beyond typical law firm conventions and reflects where the firm is headed.
