Project report

We designed the new headquarters for Digital Value, a Helsinki-based e-commerce company. At the heart of this project is a versatile space that seamlessly integrates a kitchen with an event area, designed to promote both community engagement and productivity.

From the outset, we supported Digital Value through a strategic evaluation of potential locations, ensuring the chosen space met their current needs while embodying their vision for the future. This process inspired a spatial concept based on astronomy—a metaphor for expansion and evolution that defines this new era of work.

Designing the Future of Work

Balancing stability and exploration in a workspace that fosters growth, creativity, and innovation
A Journey Between Earth and Space

The layout is organized into two distinct zones: one dedicated to focused work and the other designed for collaborative interaction. The conceptual narrative is inspired by the relationship between Earth and the cosmos—a balance between stability and exploration. This atmosphere is reflected in the furniture shapes, lighting, and spatial composition, with every element encouraging fluid and natural interaction. From formal meeting rooms to relaxed team spaces, the office fosters creativity, idea exchange, and productivity. At its core, the event space acts as the central gathering point, where visitors and employees alike are immediately immersed in Digital Value’s culture.

Beauty and Functionality in Service of Growth

Digital Value’s rapid growth—recognized by the Financial Times as Finland’s second-fastest-growing company in 2019—called for a workspace designed to evolve with the company. Acoustic quality, privacy, and flexibility were key priorities. Custom-designed dividers enhance spatial quality, creating environments that effortlessly adapt to both focused work and dynamic collaboration. This office goes beyond meeting operational needs; it projects Digital Value’s identity into the future, supporting its growth and attracting top talent.

Spaces That Transform Through Technology

The event space is a multifunctional environment that easily adapts to a variety of activities, from meetings and recruitment events to film screenings and celebrations. Technology plays a key role in enhancing this experience, giving users full control over their surroundings. An intelligent lighting system, managed through an intuitive app, allows each space to be personalized with a single tap—optimizing interaction and reinforcing the identity of a setting designed for innovation.
