Human Capital Leadership Institute Office Design: Heritage Meets Modernity

 

The Human Capital Leadership Institute (HCLI)

 

This office project exemplifies the seamless integration of heritage architecture with modern functionality. Located in a historic black-and-white bungalow, this award-winning office space balances traditional elements with contemporary needs, creating a dynamic environment for business, government, and academic leaders.

 

The design challenge lay in preserving the bungalow's conservation envelope while transforming it into a multifunctional space. Retaining the architectural integrity, we introduced modern enhancements that cater to executive meetings, networking events, and daily operations.

 

Key design elements include a welcoming reception and lounge area housed within the main bungalow, featuring warm wood accents and sophisticated décor. The adjacent out-house, typical of black-and-white bungalows, was skilfully converted into a modern boardroom equipped with cutting-edge audiovisual technology, maintaining the historical charm while meeting the expectations of high-level meetings.

 

Outdoor spaces play a significant role in this project, with a spacious balcony and garden area offering a tranquil setting for informal gatherings. The use of contemporary furnishings complements the natural landscape, creating a harmonious blend of indoor and outdoor experiences.

 

This project received high commendation at the Asia Pacific Property Awards, reflecting our commitment to innovative office design that respects heritage while enhancing functionality.​
