Situated in the heart of Chinatown, Silo is a new and savvy private office that is dedicated to the union of design and technology in the workplace. Taking over the carcass of four conservation shophouses, thirteen private rooms designed to fit offices of various sizes are carefully lined along the perimeters of the space to ensure that sufficient daylight can be achieved. The mantra of co-working space was shoved, instead privacy became the core of the design which was something we could not compromise on.

The unassuming entrance foyer lined with brass mesh screens sits amidst various provision shops along the shared five-foot walkway, creating a portal between a discreet, intimate exclusivity and the boisterous, bustling characteristic of the streetscape. Upon entering the main circulation, one will be greeted by the timber cladded hallway that inconspicuously leads you throughout the office, carefully concealing the entrances to the private rooms. Subtle wayfinding in brass details reflected by the lights seemingly appears and fades as you progress through the space, providing yet another layer of privacy to the clientele.
