Challenge

As younger, more diverse talent enters the workforce, traditional industries face mounting pressure to compete with tech-forward employers offering amenity-rich, collaborative environments. For X-Press Feeders, the world’s largest independent container feeder shipping carrier, that challenge extends beyond amenities. The company needed to consolidate teams from three separate sites into a single headquarters that reflects their maritime heritage while meeting evolving workplace expectations. They sought a future-ready space that would unite teams and support long-term growth.

Solution

Inspired by X-Press Feeders’ Duxton shophouse roots, the design blends maritime heritage with modern elegance. Timber veneer, curated artwork, and open sightlines honor the company’s past while supporting contemporary work styles. The high-ceiling floor transforms into a premium workspace with open collaboration zones and wellness-focused amenities. The result is a high-performance environment that supports mentorship, community, and employee well-being.

Impact

The new office has elevated X-Press Feeders’ workplace experience, strengthening team cohesion and reinforcing brand identity. The premium design has sparked interest from other locations, prompting them to elevate their own spaces. By aligning the company’s physical environment with cultural values and purpose, the space attracts top talent and positions the company for long-term success. The headquarters sets a new benchmark for legacy-driven innovation.
