Connected Energy:
StarHub’s Business Centre Shines as a Dynamic Hub for People and Connectivity
Introduction
For StarHub, Singapore’s first fully integrated info-communications company, MGroup delivered a two-level Business Centre that consolidates nearly 500 employees into one vibrant workplace. Having worked with the company since 2007, this project represents one of our largest to date, and a continuation of a trusted partnership over more than a decade. Designed to keep staff energised during their round-the-clock operations, the office is both modern and futuristic in spirit, reflecting the innovative drive of a leading telco.
A Connected Environment
Upon entering, visitors encounter a clean, modern reception that flows into a welcoming lounge and waiting area. Beyond lies the striking oval-shaped boardroom, designed with sweeping views over the bustling call centre below. Workstations are planned in dynamic, dock-like clusters, with high ceilings enhancing the sense of openness. At the core, a command centre anchors the office, supporting efficiency and oversight across the operation.
Lighting with Care
One of the key design challenges was to support employees who work long hours in front of screens. To avoid glare and harsh shadows, MGroup introduced an indirect lighting system that bounces illumination off the ceiling, creating a softer, more comfortable light throughout the space. This considered approach ensures a healthier work environment, vital in a 24/7 operation.
Spaces for Resting & Recharging
The office balances performance with moments of rest. A dedicated pantry and breakout lounge open to a balcony, giving staff access to fresh air and natural light. Here, StarHub’s green identity is woven into playful elements: patterned flooring, coloured ceiling panels, and a sculptural seating feature that glows like a “bright idea.” These touches reinforce the brand while fostering a positive, energised atmosphere.
“With each project for Starhub, we’ve evolved alongside this innovative company, creating workplaces that reflect both their operational needs and their brand DNA. The Business Centre is a culmination of this collaboration — a dynamic environment where connectivity, comfort, and identity come together.
