A cohesive brand experience across two environments - a flagship retail boutique and a national corporate office. Both projects were designed to reflect Nestlé’s values of quality, trust, and sustainability while adapting to different functional contexts: an immersive, flexible retail space for customers, and a dynamic, collaborative workplace for 480 employees.

Project Overview

Nestlé Boutique

A multifunctional retail concept combining store, showroom, and promotional platform.
Key design intentions:

  • Clear navigation and intuitive product zoning
  • Modular display system for seasonal updates
  • Coffee corner and tasting module for visitors
  • Natural materials and warm neutral tones
  • Interactive digital and media elements
  • Sustainable fit-out: 90% locally sourced materials, low-VOC finishes, and recycled components

Nestlé Office

A two-level open space combining work areas, meeting rooms, and informal collaboration zones. The design draws inspiration from local urban topography and the Dnipro River, creating a spatial metaphor that mirrors the flow of a city within the office:

  • Work zones placed along façades for daylight
  • Meeting islands located centrally
  • Corridors designed as “streets” connecting departments
  • Multifunctional Business Garden as a flexible hub for events and informal communication

Compliance with BREEAM and WELL sustainability standards

Strategic Significance

Both projects represent a holistic approach to brand identity through spatial design. The boutique embodies customer experience and product storytelling, while the office translates Nestlé’s culture into a dynamic, people-oriented workspace. Together, they form a unified ecosystem - where architecture, sustainability, and brand values converge.

Economic Impact

The dual project — boutique and corporate office — demonstrates how design, functionality, and sustainability can translate directly into measurable business value.

  • 4,500 m² of workspace for 480 employees, boosting collaboration and operational efficiency
  • 115 m² flagship boutique, increasing brand visibility and customer engagement
  • +30% growth in spatial efficiency through flexible planning and multifunctional zones
  • 90% locally produced materials and sustainable finishes reducing environmental footprint
  • BREEAM & WELL-aligned design enhancing employee wellbeing and productivity

By uniting brand identity with workplace strategy, the project strengthened Nestlé’s local presence, improved internal performance, and set a new standard for responsible corporate environments in emerging markets.

Result

The Nestlé Boutique became a recognizable and emotionally engaging brand environment - a space that balances function and experience, enabling seamless navigation and flexible merchandising. It serves simultaneously as a retail point, a presentation platform, and a meeting place where the brand interacts with its audience through sensory and digital storytelling.

The Nestlé Office established itself as a flexible and inspiring workspace designed to foster collaboration, innovation, and well-being. The environment captures the essence of the brand while embedding a sense of local identity through materiality, color, and spatial organization. The result is a sustainable and adaptive ecosystem that reflects Nestlé’s commitment to people, culture, and performance, embodying its core principle - “Good Food, Good Life.”

The Nestlé Boutique and Office projects demonstrate how brand identity can transcend scale - from a 115 m² retail space to a 4,500 m² corporate environment. Through cohesive design strategy, sustainable materials, and a strong narrative connection, the two spaces form a unified expression of Nestlé’s values - trust, quality, and care for people and the planet.
