implementation period

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.

Scale & Programme

Nestlé Boutique

  • 115 m² flagship retail and presentation space
  • Showroom, tasting zone, seasonal window rotation
  • Coffee corner and modular shelving
  • Natural, locally produced materials

Nestlé Office

  • 4,500 m² open space with 480 workstations
  • Meeting rooms, business garden, informal zones
  • Local identity graphics, flexible lighting and furniture
  • Sustainable approach - local suppliers, recycled materials, low VOC

Key Challenges & Solutions Implemented

  • Reflecting global brand identity while adapting to local context
  • Achieving flexibility for seasonal and functional changes
  • Balancing openness with privacy and acoustics in the office
  • Meeting high sustainability standards within tight budgets
Unified Design DNA
Developed a common design language for both retail and office environments.
  • Non-functional central core with obsolete structural systems
  • Outdated MEP networks and limited engineering flexibility
  • Inefficient circulation and underutilized floor areas
  • Structural restrictions on height and building volume
  • High architectural and branding expectations
Functional Zoning
Retail placed on active lower levels; offices, residences, and hotel positioned above.

The lower levels accommodate retail spaces with active frontages, creating vibrant public areas and continuous pedestrian flows. Retail galleries also function as transit corridors connecting adjacent programmatic zones, ensuring optimal footfall and commercial viability for tenants.

A food hall with direct access to the internal atrium is positioned on the third level, forming a central social and community hub. Above, the building integrates office spaces and residential apartments, achieving a clear and efficient vertical functional distribution.

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.
