PUSHING THE BOUNDARIES OF SCIENCE
EVIDENT’S APAC HEADQUARTERS IN SINGAPORE EMBODIES INNOVATION, BLENDING TECHNOLOGY AND DESIGN TO FOSTER COLLABORATION, FLEXIBILITY, AND A SENSE OF COMMUNITY IN A STATE-OF-THE-ART OFFICE ENVIRONMENT.
Aglobally renowned manufacturer of life science and industrial microscopes, videoscopes for remote visual inspection, non-destructive testing (NDT) equipment, and X-ray analyzers, 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 Centers 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, embracing its evolution 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 to ensure that every user’s needs were met. The ethos of Evident’s brand was intricately woven into the fabric of the workspace.
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, discussions with colleagues or brainstorms in breakout areas to concentration-driven projects in quiet zones.
