project summary
This Confidential Tech Company 3 is one of the world’s biggest online social networking sites, helping bring people together in communities of common interests. It is known for innovation and creativity, applying those characteristics to the task of strengthening families and friendships.
With the assistance of Paperspace (Singapore and Philippines) as well as Graphite Studio, the company has:
- Generated creativity among its employees by installing features designed to foster collaboration and inter-departmental engagement.
- Highlighted the uniqueness and vitality of Filipino culture by integrating its design archetypes across the workspace redesign.

the challenge
We were engaged by a tech giant to create a space efficient workspace. Cues were drawn from the industrial concept and trademark design that is prevalent in other global offices, while the aesthetics were injected with a local familiarity that echoes the personality of its Filipino employees.

the solution
To echo the tech giant’s core business, which encourages self-expression, the design was kept intentionally raw and free for creativity and expression. Paperspace conducted extensive research, which led to a unique approach for the meeting areas: by utilising the high ceilings of the penthouse, a second level was added, creating elevated meeting rooms that support productivity. The space incorporates elements such as rattan furniture and wood accents, echoing local Filipino craftsmanship and culture. Existing murals, which help spark creativity, were preserved, seamlessly blending corporate identity with local character. The result is a cohesive design that honours the company’s unique concept and trademark style while showcasing the richness of Filipino artistry.
