A Winding, Metal Staircase Nods to Dyson’s Legacy at the Brand’s Singapore Office
2022 Best of Year Winner for Extra Large Corporate Office
The century-old St James Power Station was Singapore’s first municipal electrical provider. Its legacy of innovation continues into a new era now that Dyson has reinvented the national monument into dramatic global headquarters by M Moser Associates. At its heart is the stunning four-story former Turbine Hall. Inspired by the quadrangles of academic campuses, the 140,000-square-foot space serves as a circulation hub connecting all departments, an inner employee sanctum embracing nature, and a community space. Concrete flooring and blackened metal link to the past, while technical materials like polycarbonate, metal mesh, and mirrored cladding are more of the moment. A focal metal staircase references both the existing complex and Dyson’s heritage in the form of a turbine that also resembles the silhouette of a drill bit.
