Geyer Valmont has announced a major investment to transform its Singapore studio into a global innovation hub, spearheaded by newly appointed Managing Principal of Design, Robert Price. This initiative aims to reimagine the traditional design studio model by integrating advanced technology and innovative working methods, positioning the Singapore studio at the forefront of the company’s global operations.
Since the merger of Geyer and Valmont in 2020, the unified brand has expanded its service offerings, delivering bespoke fit-out solutions worldwide. The Singapore studio’s transformation is part of a strategic roadmap to enhance design capabilities and client engagement. CEO Marcel Zalloua emphasised the importance of technology-led innovations, stating, “Our Singapore studio has built an iron clad reputation for delivering high quality design and fit outs that elevate our clients’ visions for their spaces.”
Robert Price, who joined Geyer Valmont last year, brings over 25 years of experience in leading design and architectural teams. He will focus on implementing a new model that enhances working methods and introduces a suite of technology tools. Price remarked, “As the innovation hub, the Singapore studio will drive new capabilities and approaches that will be adopted across Geyer Valmont’s global operations.”
The studio has recently completed several bespoke workplace designs, including projects like TERRA and Authentic Brand Group, which blend hospitality, business utility, and corporate functionality. As the studio evolves, Regional Design Director Doug Newkirk will depart, having contributed significantly to the company’s major projects over the past three years.
