Raw Energy: Innovation meets Industrial Style at DA’s Hybrid Headquarters

Tech-led healthcare company Doctor Anywhere (DA) enlisted Conexus Studio to design and build their Singapore headquarters to implement an innovative hybrid workplace strategy that would suit their growing team. A key priority was creating an environment where employees could thrive, fostering productivity, creativity and community among team members whether they're on-the-go or at locations across Southeast Asia. The industrial-chic interior design utilises raw materials and exposed ductwork that give the office a gritty sensibility, while at the same time providing a blank canvas for the innovative work that happens there every day. 

Bringing Everyone Together

Key to the success of the workplace design was fostering social connections and team collaboration. To achieve this, the south-facing wing, with its generous ocean-view terrace, was envisioned as a vibrant hub that encourages staff and visitors to interact and mingle spontaneously. It is home to lounge and cafe settings, as well as visitor meeting rooms and a flexible training hub with operable walls that could open up to create a generous open space for hosting the company's quarterly all-hands meetings.

Working, (Doctor) Anywhere Style

Following an employee poll that showed the majority preferred a hybrid approach balancing both working from home (WFH) and physical in-office meetings, the office is designed to facilitate an agile and collaborative workforce. Diverse space types — from chill-out corners to privacy pods — in the open-plan zones to support different work styles and uses, a feature that makes the workplace more organic and ensures easy discussion and collaboration.

“As the Doctor Anywhere team continues to grow, it was important for us to create a space where colleagues can feel relaxed and inspired. It’s been a pleasure to see the space come to life, and we cannot wait to welcome the whole DA team back when it’s safe to do so.” -- Shux Mazur, VP, People & Culture at Doctor Anywhere
