Interior and lighting design conceptThe client, Standard Chartered Bank, defined “interaction and collaboration” as key design principles for their new premises with the aim of enhancing the working and learning experience. The Australian design company, Woodhead, addressed this by providing planning which enhances communication within and across business units, promoting meetings and ensuring a more collaborative and connected team environment. To translate it into lighting terms, the lighting designer needed to review all base-building areas and ensure that the general “open-plan” office lighting would provide high-comfort, glare-free, optimal conditions for corporate workplace and meet the energy and sustainability levels. The desired result was achieved by using a mixture of lighting techniques, such as
orientation points, creating vertical brightness to special wall treatments such as graphic panels.
Interchange hubs The lighting consultant International Lighting Architects Bureau (iLAB) blended the interior with the outside environment, to provide a ‘sense’ of the outdoors (picture 3) in this area and give the worker a sense of relief from the open plan office. To achieve the desired effect, the designer “blended” the ceilings at the glass façade area with the bright outdoor sky and placed diffuse back-lit ceiling panels with 6500K daylight colour fluorescent lamps. These high-brightness daylight light-panels are more dense near the façade and gradually decrease in number the deeper into the interior they get (picture 2).

Lighting solution illuminates no trade-offs between functionality and sustainability
Effective yet environmentally conscious lighting solutions for an enriched workplace may seem hard to find. With innovative planning and close collaboration between the design consultants and various stakeholders, Standard Chartered Bank has accomplished satisfying workplace design results for its Singapore offices

project: commercial building
As part of Standard Chartered Bank’s consolidation of their Singapore premises, “Standard Chartered @ Changi” is a recently-completed built-to-suit facility that houses approximately 2000 staff within 225,000 square foot of new office space over six levels. The new workplace has been widely acclaimed as the Bank’s new design standard in terms of sensitivity to its branding, space planning principles, design principles and addressing agile work practice. A specific set of colors and cultural references are applied per floor to give a strong sense of identity to each. This re-enforces and complements the diverse and inclusive culture of the Bank.

Open plan workplaces and meeting rooms Standard Chartered’s ‘Global Standard’ for open-plan office is 400 lux minimum at desk level. This was achieved with Thorn Lighting recessed troffers with low-brightness reflectors and high output T5 fluorescent lamps from OSRAM. Glare from daylight is another issue for office building. During the day, daylight is controlled mainly by shades operated manually and in some cases via daylight sensors. During the night, open plan office areas are controlled via Lutron’s dual-technology (Infrared + Ultrasonic) occupancy sensor to minimize light and power wastage when office-use or occupancy is lower.The transparency of the meeting room glass walls gives a strong sense of openness to the workplace while making it
easy to ‘blend’ and maintain similar lighting effect throughout (picture 4). There are four different ‘scenes’ in the lighting system control in the Video-Conference Meeting Rooms to dim the light if needed. The most complex one is for Video Conferencing. This scene requires a high level of ‘vertical-brightness’ across the whole room, from ‘standing’ head-height down to ‘sitting’ head-height to ensure the cameras ‘read’ facial features and expressions clearly. “For this to happen successfully it is very important that the surrounding walls and vertical screen brightness are within the same ‘brightness-zone’, for example, of a similar luminance (usually below 1:5 ratio with 1:3 ratio our target).” explained Kevin Sturrock, Principle Director from iLAB. To achieve this, iLAB has further
advised the client and the interior designer on the best wall finish types; table surface colors and worked closely with the AV consultants to minimize reflections on the giant screens used. All lamps are 3500K with good color rendering (Ra 90+). The Lutron GRAFIK 7000 centralized lighting control system has made such interchange of scenes possible with just a touch of button on the wall-mounted keypads. All buttons on the keypads are engraved with scene names. This system also includes occupancy sensors and daylight sensors. Together with the AV system, it can save energy by turning off all the lights when the room is not in use and to dim the lights when there is abundant sunlight.

Café and cafeteria As break-out spaces and places for casual gatherings, the designer wanted a more ‘hospitality’ feel in the café and cafeteria. More decorative and pendant lights (picture 5) were introduced with lighting sources such as dimmable CFL for the pendants and white 3000K LEDs down lighting. Concealed T5 fluorescent lamps were used in specially designed coves to create continuous, shadowless, hotspot-free linear light-spread, which provides 30% of the required luminance level at floor and bench level (picture 1). The GRAFIK 7000 lighting control system was set to respond to the natural light levels outside and provide pleasant levels suitable for café-dining and informal meetings.
SustainabilityIt was clear throughout the process that Standard Chartered Bank was committed from the inception of the project to provide their staff with an environmentally responsive design and the best lighting environment. It has been proven that with the right light level and proper harvesting of daylight, employees’ productivity can increase substantially. No wonder why the base building for Standard Chartered @ Changi has already been awarded the Environmental Platinum Green Mark Certification from the Building & Construction Authority of Singapore. An application for LEED Gold Certification is in process and is anticipated for the Interior Fit-out of the building. To conclude, the well-thought lighting design and control solution of this project is a good demonstration of no trade-offs between functionality and sustainability.
