Modern office renovation is usually a trade-off between openness and privacy. Offix renovated 7,000 sqft for LTC Group in Singapore — a dated office rebuilt as a clean, Scandinavian-modern workplace where a panel system keeps the floor open while still giving people somewhere private to work — delivered in ten to twelve weeks.
The office had aged rather than failed. The layout still worked on paper, but the finishes, the lighting and the furniture all belonged to an earlier decade, and the floor read as dated the moment anyone walked in — which matters when clients visit.
LTC Group wanted a workplace that matched how the business presents itself: clean, modern, quiet. That is a brand problem as much as a construction one, and it is why this ran as a full office renovation and construction programme rather than a refresh of finishes.
The harder requirement was spatial. They wanted an open working area — the daylight, the sightlines, the sense of one team — but not the exposure that usually comes with it. People still needed somewhere they could concentrate, and managers still needed rooms they could close.

The scheme is Scandinavian-modern: pale timber, off-white surfaces, warm integrated lighting and a deliberately short material palette, so the whole floor reads as one space rather than a series of rooms in different styles.
Open plan came first, then privacy was added back where it was needed rather than designed out from the start. A panel system divides the workstations — screening sightlines at seated height, marking where one team ends and the next begins, and taking some of the noise between desks — while leaving the ceiling line open so daylight carries across the floor.
Around that, the enclosed spaces were planned as a set: meeting rooms, the pantry, and the manager and director offices, each detailed in the same palette so the transition from open floor to closed room is not a change of language. Custom furniture was made to the plan, which is the practical advantage of resolving interior design and joinery together.

The same office before and after the renovation. These are photographs of the working floor rather than styled sets — the change is in the layout, the palette and the finishes.


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.
The panel system is the element the whole scheme depends on. It is what allows the floor to stay open without leaving everyone exposed, and it is adjustable in a way that walls are not — a team that grows takes another bay rather than triggering a rebuild.
Panel heights were varied by position: taller where a desk sits against a walkway or a shared area, lower where a cluster works better across the group. Storage was planned into the same lines, so the floor keeps its edges and the shared routes stay clear.
The result is a floor that behaves like an open office for collaboration and like a set of rooms when someone needs to concentrate — which is what most modern office renovation briefs are actually asking for, even when they are written as a request for open plan.
