CU Lines Office Pantry & Collaboration Area

This office pantry for CU Lines in Singapore was planned as more than a place for meals. The shared space brings together pantry facilities, comfortable seating and informal collaboration, creating an area employees can use throughout the working day.

The brief

More Than an Office Pantry

A modern office pantry does not have to function only as a place to prepare food or take lunch.

With the right seating, circulation and shared facilities, it can also become an informal collaboration area where employees can take a break, have a quick conversation or meet away from their desks.

For CU Lines, the pantry serves both purposes: a practical staff amenity and a more relaxed shared space within the office.

Before

What did the director's room look like before?

These photographs show the room as a director’s office before the renovation. The corner windows and the harbour view were already there; the room around them was set up for one desk and one occupant.

The space

Pantry & Collaboration in One Shared Space

The space combines everyday pantry functions with areas for employees to sit, gather and interact informally.

Rather than creating another formal meeting room, the shared setting gives employees a different environment for casual discussions, short conversations and breaks during the working day.

Pantry Facilities

The pantry provides the practical facilities required for daily staff use while keeping the overall space organised and easy to maintain.

Informal Seating

Seating within the pantry gives employees somewhere to step away from their workstations for meals, breaks or informal conversations.

Collaboration Area

The open shared setting allows the pantry to support small discussions and casual interaction without requiring a dedicated meeting room.

The design stage

What the design visuals showed before the build

Offix produced these design visuals before the renovation started. They are renders, not photographs. They set out the layout, the green fluted counters and the wine chiller wall that were then built. Some finishes changed on the way to site, including the stools and the counter tops, so the photographs on this page show what was actually delivered.

Project outcome

A More Useful Workplace Amenity

The completed CU Lines pantry shows how a workplace support area can serve more than one purpose.

By combining pantry facilities with informal seating and collaboration space, the area becomes part of the everyday workplace experience rather than simply a back-of-house utility room.

For companies planning an office renovation, pantry areas can be considered alongside meeting rooms, workstations and collaboration spaces to create a more complete working environment.
