Office design and build puts the drawing and the construction under one contract. When LogRhythm merged with Exabeam, the combined Singapore team needed one office that looked like one company. Offix designed and built 2,700 sq ft — a new reception, an operable glass meeting room, a privacy pod and an upgraded pantry — in six to eight weeks.
A merger changes an office before it changes anything else. Two companies that each had their own space, their own signage and their own way of working end up on one floor — and until that floor looks like a single company, the merger still looks like two.
When LogRhythm merged with Exabeam, the Singapore office had to become one place rather than a combination of two. That is a brand requirement as much as a spatial one, and it set the order of work: reception first, because it is the first thing a client sees.
The floor also had to work harder than before. More people, more client calls, and a working pattern that had shifted heavily toward video — which is a different problem from simply fitting more desks in. That is the kind of brief an office design and build contract suits, because the drawing and the construction answer to the same team.

Reception was rebuilt as the brand statement: timber, warm integrated lighting and the Exabeam mark set on the wall behind the counter, so the first thing a visitor reads is one company rather than two.
The working area stayed open, with the enclosed spaces placed along the wall lines so daylight carries across the floor. The main meeting room is glazed with an operable glass wall, so it opens into the floor when the whole team needs to gather and closes when it does not — one room doing two jobs on a floor where a second large room would not fit.
The pantry was upgraded from a service area into somewhere people actually use, and the furniture was made to the plan rather than bought to fit it — the practical advantage of running design and build as a single scope.

The privacy pod is the piece that answers how this team actually works. Exabeam runs a lot of video conferencing and client calls, and in an open plan those compete: the person on the call needs quiet, and everyone around them needs the call to stop being their problem.
A pod solves that without building a room. It gives one person an acoustically separated space, it can be relocated in an afternoon if the layout changes, and it does not consume the floor area or the daylight that a built room would.
On 2,700 sq ft that trade matters. Every enclosed room you build is floor you cannot use for desks, so a pod plus one operable-wall meeting room covers the range of needs that three built rooms would have, and leaves the open area intact — the sort of trade an office design and build team can settle at drawing stage rather than on site. Where the specification crosses into construction it is resolved with the joinery rather than after it, the same way as any interior design package.

The pantry is the clearest single comparison on this floor. It went from a service corner in the old blue scheme to somewhere people actually use — the same square metres, a different room.


The two views are not taken from an identical camera position, so read them as a record of the change rather than as a measured comparison.
