Raw Design Consultants, a Singapore-based office interior design studio, is at the forefront of transforming office spaces to accommodate the growing trend of hybrid work. As Singapore ranks highly in Asia Pacific for hybrid work adoption, the traditional office is evolving into a hub for collaboration, culture, and connectivity. This shift requires efficient layouts and strategic budget allocation to balance high rental costs and limited floor space.
Founded over a decade ago, Raw Design Consultants aims to streamline office design by focusing on client needs and employee wellbeing. “We wanted to deliver inspiring spaces on schedule,” said Gary Teo, founder of Raw Design Consultants. The studio’s approach incorporates natural light, acoustics, and ergonomic planning, ensuring efficient use of space and cost transparency.
A prime example of their work is Monks Singapore’s APAC headquarters, designed to support both collaboration and hybrid schedules. The office features a central social sanctuary for seminars and gatherings, surrounded by diverse work areas and integrated technology for seamless hybrid meetings.
As hybrid models continue to evolve, Raw Design Consultants anticipates a growing demand for offices that blend local character with global connectivity. “Every office tells a story, but the story really begins with the people who use the space,” Teo noted. The studio remains committed to creating spaces that reflect the needs and stories of their users, shaping the future of workspaces in Singapore and beyond.
