191 Bay.

The development cohesively blends multi-tenant workplace with retail, meaning users will have different experience requirements. To ensure each type of user is accommodated for and their needs met, we needed to understand and identify the desire and pain points. By working closely with stakeholder teams, we were able to establish the drivers and objectives for the project and develop specific use cases.

With technology ever changing, the space must be both flexible and adaptable. To make this a reality, we are taking steps to foresee behaviour and anticipate upcoming trends. We have applied a data strategy and standardised metadata, which will enable all the building systems to ‘speak the same language’. With our support, the design of 191 Bay has full digital integration flexibility and can continue to host new technology as future innovation flourishes.

Floor sensors will be embedded within the environment to accurately count and analyse whether people are coming or going, and their time spent in the different areas. By utilising this data, we can cultivate insights to equip our client with the ability to make real-time decisions. This will help operators and management understand the building’s usage, people flow and preferences. As a result, future adaptability will be easy as both the building’s operation and layout can be adjusted to better suit the needs of visitors.

191 Bay is a leading example of workplace modernisation. Not only adding 1.8 million ft² of office space to the city, it is also supporting thousands of workers and strengthening the employment base. The finished tower and new workplace will give its users a flexible, state-of-the-art, environment that provides them with everything they need to do their job better, faster and more intelligently.
