Studio X designed Eastern Pacific Shipping’s expanded Singapore headquarters — a high-performance workplace for a global shipping leader.
A full bare-shell fit-out of 9,000 sqft on the 37th floor of Millenia Tower, Singapore - transforming an empty floor plate into a workplace shaped by the culture of a company obsessed with performance, discipline and endurance.

Eastern Pacific Shipping is one of the world’s leading ship management companies, overseeing one of the industry’s largest fleets and a global workforce of 7,000.
When the opportunity arose to expand their presence at Millenia Tower in Singapore, we set out to create a workplace that reflected the discipline, competitiveness and performance culture that defines the business.
Open working zones provide the operational core of the fit-out with integrated breakout areas.
A dedicated cycling studio overlooks the Singapore skyline, fitted with professional training equipment and graphics of legendary climbs including Ventoux and Galibier.
A rotunda anchors the central circulation, with a series of vitrines presenting the shirts of sports clubs in EPS's portfolio including Movistar Team, and Atlético Madrid.
Divider screens were fabricated from reclaimed single-use plastic recovered from three EPS vessels - CMA CGM Monza, Olympic Bay and Mount Tourmaline. Each panel carries a small brass plaque naming its donor ship.
The open workplace floor is organised as a clear, efficient field of workstations, with views across Singapore and breakout areas positioned naturally within the plan.
The pantry serves as a shared social hub for the floor, providing an informal space for staff to gather, pause and reset during the working day.
A generous staff pantry sits within the circulation of the floor, designed as a casual meeting point rather than a secondary support space.
One of the main open working zones, with an acoustic ceiling and deep blue painted out services above with uplighting to enrich the tonal value.
From a bare shell, the project introduced open working floors, meeting rooms, staff development facilities, a professional-grade cycling training suite, and a gallery of sporting brands reflecting EPS’s commitment to competitive sport.

Studio X quickly understood the culture of our business and translated it into a workplace that genuinely reflects who we are.
Their approach went far beyond decoration — combining strong design thinking with a pragmatic understanding of how a global firm operates.
