US-based Global Investment Management Firm

An Edgy & Open Vibe for a Boutique Investment Firm

One Space was tasked with designing and constructing this US-based Global Investment Management Firm’s first permanent office in Hong Kong at IFC Two. The 3,200 sq ft tenancy, neatly situated at a corner unit, enjoys superb views across Victoria Harbour and Central District.

The Brief demanded a highly-functional, open-plan workplace arranged in two clusters of adjustable-height workstations supported by shared amenities, as well as the potential for future headcount growth. A suite of client-facing meeting rooms would require the highest achievable acoustic privacy and room environments, to provide an excellent user experience whether meeting in-person and via videoconference.

The layout is zoned to exploit from every angle the site’s exceptional views. Visitors are greeted with a contemporary lounge setting against a ceramic-surface wall bearing an intricate, laser-cut logo, beyond which meeting rooms are positioned along the glazed perimeter. Blackened parquet floors, pale oak veneer wall panels and black-framed glazed partitions present a rich & contrasting palette in this zone.

The open workspace enjoys ample daylight, supplemented by ergonomically-designed task lighting. A pantry & breakout area featuring open-ceilings and softened tones establishes a welcoming and comfortable destination, where staff can pause and recharge away from the desk. A wellness room, secluded from the workspace, is equipped with a sink, fridge, dimmable lighting and soft furnishings.
