红树林花园办公楼丨中国香港丨Bean Buro

Bean Buro’s Mangrove Garden offices in Hong Kong reimagine workplace culture through a nature-inspired design, seamlessly blending vibrant aesthetics and sustainable practices to enhance well-being and collaboration across 54,000 sqft.

Bean Buro has created a contemporary workspace for a leading global financial institution in Hong Kong, spanning 54,000 sqft and distributed over three storeys. The design is a forward-thinking interpretation of workplace culture, seeking to harmonise natural elements with human-centric approaches, and placing a strong emphasis on well-being and hospitality.

A standout feature of each level is a central hub designed to echo the richness of a “mangrove garden.” This inviting area is accentuated with an array of tropical flora and structural elements reminiscent of mangrove trees, imparting a signature vibrancy and identity. These structures also anchor uniquely shaped seating arrangements, fostering a culture of social interaction and teamwork.

Engagement is further sparked by engaging with local talents, such as artist Angel Hui, to introduce site-specific art installations that add a playful dimension to the work environment. The artworks, from bright trinkets to neon statements on the wall, capture local cultural endeavours and create communal spaces that encourage social media interaction.

In the broader office areas, an immersive design strategy was employed, highlighted by a bespoke lighting set against a timber-clad ceiling which guides the flow of movement. The workspace is complemented by a variety of thoughtfully positioned amenities, all set against an aesthetic backdrop that unites teams while providing a constant visual and functional flow.

Materials and hues were chosen to instil an atmosphere of brightness and dynamism. The financial organisation’s signature red is reimagined and complemented with a broad spectrum of colours across various elements, crafting an environment that defies the conventional corporate mindset and sparks innovation. Sustainability threads through the design, with features like repurposed furnishings and bio-based wall finishes, reducing environmental impact and enhancing well-being.

The creative challenge was to amalgamate the organisation’s well-established brand essence with a fresh, contemporary workplace vision. Bean Buro met this by engaging directly with stakeholders, weaving a narrative that encapsulated both heritage and new-age design to ensure both the aesthetic and functional needs were not just met, but exceeded.

Overall, the project stands as a testament to high-quality design and construction, representing the esteemed character of the client within a premier Hong Kong office location. The attentive and collaborative nature of the project navigated the usual constraints with ease, and led to an outcome that sets new benchmarks for modern workplaces.
