DTAC HEADQUARTERS

Thailand’s leading telecomunications firm DTAC recently sprung for a 662,000 square foot workshop which will house 3,200 full time employees. The space was concepted and built by Australian design team Hassell. Hassell took DTAC’s mantra, ‘Play and Learn’ and brought that to life with its grand curvilinear library/ampetheatre, a “fun floor” which is an entire floor deticated to table tennis, a running track, indoor soccer, and concert space for performances. The concept was intended to inspire the employees of DTAC to be creative in their work environment. Hassell did this by creating mobile and unique choices of workspaces such as the Conversation Pit, the Freeform Meeting, and the amphitheater seating, to truly encourage face-to-face communication.

The design team carefully painted the spaces with incandescent lighting to give a relaxing feel and they used local timbers to add warm natural wood to the workshop. The dynamic spaces are open and flexible allowing DTAC to make internal additions depending on future needs. Enjoy!
