Office visit: take a look at Facebook’s fancy new digs in Singapore

  17 Comments

Moving into a new place is always exciting and stressful in equal measure. Will everyone in the family like it there? Will there be a weird neighbor upstairs playing the trombone at 4am?

Facebook probably has little reason to complain about its new Singapore HQ. Located at the South Beach Tower, just minutes away from the Suntec City commercial hub, the social media behemoth has commandeered four floors of this latest addition to Singapore’s skyline.

It’s probably not too much of a surprise to say that the office is all sorts of comfy. There are adjustable desks that can convert from sitting to standing (there’s even one of those vaunted treadmill desks for those people who feel their desk is slowly killing them).

Bright, open spaces are surrounded by large windows that overlook the lion city (at least when it’s not, y’know, haze central).

At the same time, exposed concrete and ceiling fixtures such as ventilation systems reflect Facebook’s philosophy of having completed just 1 percent of its goals – thus the sense of the unfinished building.

The office maintains fully-stocked kitchens on all floors for when the employees get the munchies (the beer taps are there strictly for after hours!).

Wood panels against gray concrete make the place cozy while maintaining that industrial, unfinished feel.

Facebook-branded Mah Jong. It should go well with those beers after hours!
