Expeditors Hanoi Office

In logistics, efficiency is measured in flow of goods, data, and decisions. This principle guided every design move across the two floors of Lancaster Luminaire Hanoi.

Spatial planning is organized around continuous circulation paths that connect work zones, collaboration areas, and support functions into one cohesive loop. No space feels isolated; instead, each zone feeds naturally into the next, encouraging agility, collaboration, and operational clarity.

The aesthetic language is elegant yet practical with clean lines, balanced proportions, and carefully curated materials create a bright and composed environment, while subtle design details reinforce the idea of constant motion and connection.

At the heart of Expeditors’ workplace at Lancaster Luminaire, the internal staircase linking the 11th and 12th floors stands as the most defining architectural gesture of the project and also the most challenging to deliver. Creating an inter-floor staircase within an occupied, premium-grade A building like Lancaster Luminaire is far from straightforward. Key challenges included:

• Structural limitations: Cutting through floor slabs required detailed structural analysis, approvals, and reinforcement strategies to ensure zero impact on building integrity

• Strict landlord regulations: Every dimension, material, fire-rating, and construction method had to align precisely with landlord guidelines

• Fire & life-safety compliance: The staircase had to meet stringent local authority requirements for fire protection, egress, and smoke control—without compromising design intent

• Construction sequencing: Works were carefully phased to coordinate with base building conditions and minimize risk during slab opening and structural modification

Each step required close collaboration between ADP Workplace, structural engineers, MEP consultants, and the building management team.

At Lancaster Luminaire, Expeditors’ new Hanoi office embodies the spirit of the Infinite Loop - a space designed for continuity, adaptability, and forward momentum. It is a workplace where efficiency feels intuitive, innovation feels grounded, and every element works together in an uninterrupted flow. The result is a workplace that not only reflects Expeditors’ global identity, but also performs reliably within the practical demands of a high-precision logistics environment. A fitting environment for a global logistics leader - always moving, always improving, always connected.
