Demonstrative Dynamism

ELTO Consultancy proposed a kinetically inspired design for the GTR and Teleport Offices which mimics the frenetic activities and energy of the digital control centre for ground handling services and its young crew

Located in the now defunct Low-Cost Terminal or LCCT, the co-working space for Ground Team Red (GTR) and Teleport was designed to serve the individual needs of these two entities while encouraging synergy between them.

GTR is a joint venture between SATS Ltd, Asia’s leading provider of gateway services and food solutions, and Air Asia – the region’s leading low-cost carrier. Their company philosophy is to connect their customers through technology, connect passengers to excellent service and connect their people to opportunities.

Meanwhile, Teleport, the cargo and logistics platform for Air Asia, creates commerce, connects opportunities, and births entrepreneurs and enterprises by opening up infrastructure to make it easy for the single merchant and the most prominent companies to transport things quickly.

Both entities share a mother company, Air Asia, whose work culture is dynamic, youth-skewed and bold. So, when ELTO Consulting, a firm design and project management firm with a presence in Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Shanghai, London and Jakarta, was commissioned to take on this project, top of mind was creating an office that connected people with their ambition and imagination at work.
