Singapore, December 2016 – DB&B Singapore has clinched a Bronze Award in the ‘Industry Design Excellence Awards’ (I-DEA) category for Best Workplace Design in Asia Pacific (above 5,000 square feet). The award winning project is the firm’s design for Garena Group, the largest internet and mobile platform company for digital content, eCommerce and payment services in Southeast Asia and Taiwan.

The 80,000 square feet multi-storey office was unveiled in mid-2015, garnering online coverage for its unique, distinct design and employee-centric environment. DB&B’s design sought to unify Garena’s youthful culture with a powerful picture of ‘Connectivity’ – an idea that binds people in one connected identity.

The result is a workplace that Garena’s employees are proud of and a place they can call home. Clinching the award is also a recognition of our design capabilities, cementing our position as one of Asia’s leading interior design firms.”

The I-DEA is part of the two categories for entry at the Design Excellence Awards 2016. The annual awards is organised by Interior Design Confederation Singapore (IDCS) and celebrates the best of local and regional interior design.
