CBRE Singapore delivers workplace wellbeing with Moodsonic soundscaping and Bluesound Professional

At Coldwell Banker Richard Ellis’ (CBRE) recently relocated Singapore city-center office, Simon Long, the company’s Senior Director of Client Technology, envisioned a workplace where wellbeing and focus take precedence, shaping the atmosphere through the integration of Moodsonic’s soundscaping technology.

Long aspired to implement a fully networked audio system. His vision was achieved with the help of Valeo Technology, a specialist provider of wellbeing-led technologies. They led the design and delivery of the Moodsonic solution, working with local installation partner Esco and Hewshott consultants.

This collaboration led to in-depth discussions with Bluesound Professional, who together designed a tailored audio system using 120 BCS300 PoE speakers, mostly used in pendant configuration with the addition of the pendant kit.

The system now delivers coverage across the office, supporting fourteen distinct zones - including front-of-house and back-of-house areas, focus rooms, wellness spaces, quiet zones, bathrooms, and café areas - creating a cohesive sound environment throughout the workplace.

The space is intentionally immersive, aiming to guide movement and behaviour through sound as much as through architecture and visual design. The office has been split into distinct sections to support different ways of working, communicating, and interacting.

“The sound solution delivered exactly what the workplace required: flexibility, scalability, and a future-proofed approach to audio”, states Marcus Rose, Owner and Director at Valeo Technology, noting that should the office layout evolve over time, there’s no need for invasive changes such as accessing ceilings or rerouting cabling; zones can be reconfigured by decoupling and regrouping speakers through BluOS software. The decentralised nature of the system also ensures ease of control, allowing each speaker to be individually configured to suit the needs of different spaces or occupants.

While Moodsonic soundscaping operates as the default setting throughout the office, the system also allows for flexibility in use. For example, if teams want to change the music in certain areas on a Friday afternoon, they can temporarily switch to their preferred streaming service via the BluOS app and revert to Moodsonic when required.

The project extends well beyond audio alone. By analysing multiple data sets including occupancy sensors, air quality, lighting levels, and Moodsonic acoustic data, the team can gain a real-time understanding of how the office is performing at any given moment.

The outcome at CBRE is an award-winning workplace, recognised as “Best Corporate Office” at the InAvate APAC Awards. “It’s a real-world blueprint for how scalable, smart audio and intelligent soundscaping can elevate these types of buildings”, says Rose.
