Swire Properties invited Robarts Spaces to co-create a new workplace with a mission of enabling “staff to be their most innovative, effective and sustainable best selves”, offering a disruptive change in their ways of working for Swire and also serving as a benchmark for their own real-estate clients.

Inspiration for the design traces back to Swire’s history and is enlightened by emphasis on the local environment and the people who animate the space. With its beginnings in ocean shipping, over recent decades Swire has strongly committed to sustainable development. The new workplace puts environmental protection and human health at equal importance in all aspects including design concept, materials, furniture, lighting, acoustics, and air quality. This project has achieved both LEED Platinum and WELL Platinum certification.
