About the Swiss Contact Project

The Swiss Contact office redesign was focused on creating a workspace that embodies the organization's values of sustainability, efficiency, and collaboration. Our design approach balanced professional functionality with warm, inviting spaces that promote employee wellbeing.

"The new office design has significantly improved our team's productivity while reducing our environmental footprint. The space perfectly reflects our organizational identity and values."

- Country Director, Swiss Contact Kenya

We implemented a flexible workspace design with modular furniture that can be reconfigured for different needs. The layout maximizes natural light while incorporating energy-efficient LED lighting. Sustainable materials were used throughout, including recycled wood, low-VOC paints, and eco-friendly flooring options.

The color scheme combines Swiss Contact's brand colors with natural tones to create a professional yet warm atmosphere. Strategic placement of indoor plants and green walls improves air quality while reinforcing the connection to nature. The reception area features a striking feature wall that showcases Swiss Contact's mission and projects.
