A globally renowned manufacturer of life science and industrial microscopes, videoscopes for remote visual inspection, nondestructive testing (NDT) equipment, and X-ray analysers, Evident looked to bring their cutting-edge technologies and people together in a visionary, future-forward workspace when setting up their Asia Pacific Headquarters in Singapore.
Home to state-of-the-art Technology and Microscopy Centres as well as generous hybrid office space for the rapidly growing firm, the 25,000 square feet facility encompasses hospitality, experiential and collaboration areas that bring staff and visitors all together as one connected community.
An Evident Brand Experience
Evident was looking forward to a distinctive new home in its next phase of transformation as a new brand. Key to the design's success was the right balance of style and substance — to not just reflect the brand and embody its corporate values, but to bring about a strong sense of identity and belonging for the new team members.
From the fluid and connected office layout to its distinctive look and feel, the design's foundation was based on understanding Evident's company culture — from brand identity to workflows, technology needs and ergonomic requirements. A series of rigorous conversations were held with stakeholders from all departments in order to ensure that every user's needs were met.
Innovations that Empower
Evident’s forward-thinking culture is driven by a hybrid office model that empowers employees with agile and flexible work arrangements. Desk-based as well as activity-based work areas give each team member the flexibility to choose the best workspace for their tasks at any given time — from powerful collaboration with colleagues or brainstorms in breakout areas to concentration-driven projects in quiet zones.
The layout was also carefully considered, allowing for a great deal of natural light as well as visual connection between spaces. A strong circulatory spine connects different work and social zones; an interconnected office ecosystem that facilitates seamless transitions between different types of activities, fostering collaboration and knowledge-sharing across departments.
“We had the pleasure of working with Conexus Studio and found them to be a team of passionate, experienced design and build professionals who partnered with Evident to create the ideal APAC headquarters we envision. Their attention to detail and commitment to quality have been greatly appreciated by our team.”
