Solutions

Our design strategy focused on creating a high-performance workplace

We delivered a vibrant, human-centric workspace that mirrors Unilever’s identity and operational goals. Agile workstations, wellness zones, and diverse collaboration hubs are spread across the three floors to encourage flexibility and interaction. For the very first time we built a
restroom dedicated for LGBTQ+, uplifting inclusivity & diversity for all. Brand storytelling is subtly embedded using Unilever’s colour palette, environmental graphics, and spatial cues drawn from its product lines. The design not only supports business functionality but also reflects Unilever’s
commitment to sustainability - making the Bangladesh headquarters a benchmark for contemporary corporate design in South Asia.
