Assembly

Assembly, a digital design agency, came to us to see if we could find a way for them to reconfigure their existing office to accommodate more staff, along with increasing the number of meeting rooms and improving workflows and collaboration. Their office was already congested and was feeling tired, cluttered and didn't have enough utility.

We set out to optimise the planning, to optimise the seating layout, the facilities, and their adjacencies and the proximity of all of these things to gain maximum benefit from the large window at the back of the space.

To take a space that is already ‘full’, then cram in more functionality and still make it look more spacious was no easy task. But to increase the challenge, the client's budget was only around $1m HKD ($125,000 USD) which equates to around $650 HKD per sqft - the lowest budget we had ever worked to.

Journal

This project was a real challenge, and has become a great blueprint for how we work with clients whose budget may be relatively low, but who still seek a design led outcome and don’t want to settle for an ‘off-the-shelf’, pre-determined scheme that a design & build approach might tend to produce.

One of the Client's earliest questions to us was whether we could replan the already congested and seemingly at-capacity space to add further desk space as well as an extra meeting room and better quality larger pantry in a bid to avoid the, having to move to a new premises.

What the client says

“ We brought Studio X on board to reconceptualize our office space, recognising the need of our team members had changed from fixed to flexible. It was a pleasure working with the Studio X team as they proactively explored and positively challenged our perception on the future of the office.

Sam and Rufus crafted a beautiful space that actively fosters both flexibility and active collaboration, and an environment that our team take great pride in. The whole process felt like a true partnership which is a testament to their engagement and responsiveness. We’re delighted we brought them onboard ”
