The fit-out of this second-floor life sciences space created an interdisciplinary environment designed to foster collaboration among tenants, employees, and visitors. Accessible by a grand central stair from the main lobby, the space was conceived to encourage interaction, mentorship, and cross-collaboration across companies.

Glass walls between perimeter work areas and core lab facilities provide visual transparency and draw natural light deep into the floor plate. The program included laboratories supported by MEP infrastructure, offices, a reception area, conference rooms, and a café.

Shared spaces play a central role in promoting community and innovation. The open café is a hub for socialization and informal gatherings, hosting events such as trainings, vendor fairs, and presentations.

Furniture and finishes in calming tones of blue and green, complemented by natural wood, create a cohesive and welcoming environment. Behind the reception desk, a feature wall of test tubes in a blue-to-green gradient offers a playful tribute to the scientific work within the space.
