In-House F&B Destinations

HP’s relatively secluded location provided the opportunity for the company to conceptualise its own F&B spaces as destinations in their own right. The fully glazed ground floor, for example, is dedicated to a food court and accessible with a pass. Here, transactions are completely cashless, vending machines sell stationery as well as small electronic necessities like charging cables and earphones, and employees (and guests) can dine, meet, hang out and even work in a variety of settings.

“We expected to see more people wanting different types of spaces, so we made it possible to hack the environment and swap out those single work points for other settings.” Angela Spathonis.
