With over 10,000 sq ft of multi-functional space at K11 ATELIER, check out the New World Group-led insurer's collaborative hub termed as "The GalaMuse".

"The GalaMuse" is the name given to FTLife Insurance Company Limited's (FTLife) brand-new concept centre located harbourfront at K11 ATELIER Victoria Dockside in Hong Kong's Tsim Sha Tsui. With this launch, the organisation has dedicated over 10,000 square feet of multi-functional space and a range of ancillary facilities, with the aim to make this a collaborative hub for FTLife and the business units of New World Group, of which it is a member.

Let's take a photo tour of the space as we uncover some of the facilities and more of the vision behind this new space.

The facility, based on the Group’s corporate vision of "creating shared value", sees the space comprising five multi-purpose zones and interactive experiential activities that help create a collaborative hub for FTLife's customers, agents, and the groups’ business units.

The design comes from the idea of "mining for treasure" whereby "together their (the collaborators') potential could be realised, like the polishing of a rough stone into a lustrous gem'," as shared with Human Resources Online.

  • Life Stage (multi-functional co-working and event zone),
