EmiratesNBD, Singapore

Based on the design of the existing 8th floor of the Emirates NBD Headquarters, Swiss Bureau adapted this design into the new Emirates NBD office in Singapore’s Premium Financial District. Overlooking the waterfront, the property is located in Ocean Financial Centre.  The layout was planned in a way that the premium views could be enjoyed both by the bank staff and also the customers.  To retain their identity across all their worldwide branches Emirates NBD has certain distinctive design details. The color palette is primarily neutral with accents of dark blue, representative of their branding color.  There is a tint of champagne gold in the color palette which adds an element of luxury to the design. A mashrabiya pattern adds a regional flavor to the design. This pattern is used subtly in the wallpaper and also more prominently in the form of fixed screens that are placed around the meeting rooms. It also forms the basis for the logo wall.

Stretched ceilings are used in the key meeting rooms to give an expansive effect to the ceiling. The meeting rooms also feature a staggered panel wall which integrates the TV in it. A combination of hardwood flooring with a plush inset rug characterizes the flooring in the front end areas.

The overall space has been a well-adapted design but also more importantly functional and meeting all the technical requirements to ensure that the overall experience is smooth for all involved,
