Daun Penh Data Center

Phnom Penh, 2024

Daun Penh Group commissioned this facility to meet the soaring demand for secure, local digital infrastructure as Cambodia undergoes rapid digital transformation. The project combines a data center and an office building, each with distinct lifecycles, arranged on a shared modular grid that coordinates structural bays, building services and access points. The framework was selected to control costs and the project schedule, enabling independent extension or reconfiguration with minimal operational disruption and allowing staged upgrades over the asset lifecycle.

A half‑covered courtyard links the two buildings and functions as the project’s communal hub. The courtyard provides sheltered outdoor space for informal gatherings, team building and short breaks, supporting open communication and a culture of wellbeing across technical and office teams. 

Integrating adaptable construction logic with a central, community‑focused hub delivers operational resilience and strengthens workplace connections for staff and stakeholders, consistent with regional approaches to mixed office and data center development.
