Architecture

The CelcomDigi Hub is a low-rise workplace campus that houses over 1,300 employees within an ensemble of offices, training spaces, an auditorium, a call centre, and shared amenities. Designed in 2007—prior to Digi’s merger with Celcom—the project marked the company’s first consolidated headquarters, bringing its workforce together under one roof in a setting shaped by openness, landscape connection, and a transparent organizational ethos.

ARCHITECTURE

The design emphasizes openness and permeability as fundamental spatial principles, aligning architecture with Digi’s culture of transparency, experimentation and collaborative innovation. The four-storey complex is deliberately non-hierarchical in its planning, using clarity, visibility, and fluid movement to express the company’s progressive working culture.

Entry unfolds through a generous steel-and-glass porte cochere that opens into a soaring four-storey atrium. Full-height glazing admits abundant daylight, modulated by exterior sun-shading fins and louvered clerestory openings. The central void frames a long axial vista towards a natural rock outcrop, forging a strong dialogue between built form and terrain.

Bridges span the atrium volume, while slender concrete and steel columns rise to support a timber canopy and louvered skylight that wash the space in soft, diffuse light. With natural ventilation, a water feature running beneath sections of the glazed floor, and porous edges that dissolve interior–exterior boundaries, the atrium functions as both a ceremonial entrance and a social heart for the campus.

Open-plan work zones are interspersed with informal meeting areas articulated through shifts in scale, materiality, and spatial thresholds. Views are intentionally oriented towards the courtyard, atrium, and the site’s rugged rock formation—redirecting focus away from the surrounding industrial context. Materiality is warm and authentic: fair-faced concrete columns, timber elements, and subdued finishes replace the sheen of conventional corporate interiors, reiterating a grounded and human-centred work environment.
