Creating Room for Infinite Possibilities

The office adopts an open design, eliminating traditional partitions and reducing the number of individual offices to facilitate easier communication and collaboration among colleagues.

The rejuvenated office also features numerous collaborative facilities and spaces, with the most notable being the Atrium in Gala Place, which spans three floors and is connected by a custom designed grand staircase. The Social Hub features a series of wide steps and seats, a layout suitable for hosting TED Talk-style events. These spaces are multifunctional, capable of accommodating everything from casual lunches to large employee events to networking among colleagues. The number of meeting rooms has been doubled, each equipped with the latest intelligent technology to enhance efficiency in discussions.

David Tang, Deputy General Manager – Financial Planning & Analysis, has worked at Hang Lung for 17 years. He reflects on the changes: “The transformation of our office spaces is incredible. It has not only modernized our workplace but also energized our team dynamics and communication. It's inspiring to work in an environment that encourages creativity and innovation.”

The rejuvenation also brings to life the “One Team One Location” principle. Departments that were scattered across different locations now work under one roof, which helps facilitate communication, streamline processes, build stronger relationships and boost productivity.

Sustainability Prioritized in Design Process

With sustainability as a guiding principle, the rejuvenation project uses durable and high-quality materials. Repurposed and upcycled materials feature in various parts of the office, demonstrating our commitment to care for the environment. Co-designed by Hong Kong Timber Bank, a local environmental startup, and Oval Partnership, reception counters at the two offices are sculpted out of discarded wood, with the one at Standard Chartered Bank Building made from a 400-year-old camphor tree fallen from typhoon. Fine craftsmanship in the final designs spotlights the woods’ unique natural grain, bringing both elegance and functionality. The collaboration is both a manifestation of material circularity and a testament of our commitment to sustainability.

Our design process prioritizes materials with recycled, reused, and upcycled elements, ensuring eco-friendly workspaces. This approach yielded positive outcomes in the Carbon, Circularity, and Health aspects per the third-party RESET Assessment. Collaborating with a green startup, Sustainable Office Solutions, we saved old office furniture and electronics from going to landfills through reusing, recycling, donating and staff-take-home programs.
