Studio X designed Silvercrest Asset Management Group’s office at IOI Central Boulevard Towers, Singapore: 2,500 sq ft, completed in 2026, and the firm’s first office outside the United States.
Silvercrest manages assets for ultra-high-net-worth individuals, family offices, endowments and institutional investors, and its reputation rests on personalised service and long client relationships. The intention was an office that conveys trust, discretion and continuity from the moment a client arrives.
The plan is a sequence of spaces a client moves through: reception and arrival, the primary client meeting room, a compact lounge, a boardroom for up to nine with a smaller snug beside it for private conversations, and a pantry that seats six and can host informal meetings.
Materials were chosen to read as permanence and care: solid marble, travertine, aniline leather, hand-woven wool carpet and Herman Miller seating. Every joinery element was designed by Studio X; none is off the shelf. A mid-floor cabinet in walnut and reeded glass was made by hand in Singapore. Swivelling screens divide the lounge, their pattern referring to the client’s branding and to local motifs. The television partition reads as a freestanding wall with curved corners.
In the pantry, painted timber cabinetry with ribbed mid-frames and bullnose door frames centres on a marble island with a triple-bullnose edge, and a brass trim marks where the timber floor meets a rust-coloured “mat” beneath the island.
A strict ceiling grid organises the interior. Lighting, ventilation and architectural features align with it, and it coordinates with the rhythm of the joinery, wall panelling and façade mullions. The floor finishes follow the same order.
The detailing is meant to be found over time: engraved messages, concealed drawers in the conference table holding pen and notepad sets, brass details and many crafted junctions between materials.
The project was a Winner at the DNA Paris Design Awards 2026.
