AXN Asia stands by a unique brand of action and adventure. Their office concept lives up to their line of business--action and adventure that can be felt and touched as employees go through their daily routines. The main reception area is a fusion of installation art and branding concept. To give the space an industrial and adventurous feel, the ceiling was exposed with M&E services. The most interesting aspect of the reception area is the motorcycle going up the ramp and smoothly morphing into the reception desk.
AXN believes in nurturing creative energies, and in every aspect of the office space, the Ai Team strived to provide a creative atmosphere by using an open concept. World War II sand bunkers with camouflage nets and soft stackable throw cushions are used for impromptu meetings and encourage creativity to flow during brainstorming sessions. Surfboards replace the traditional partitions. The boardroom table holds an F1 race car prototype with the driver’s seat and steering wheel at the centre of the table. Instead of the usual door handles, oars were used on the boardroom doors. Overall, the look was one that is uniquely AXN.
