Unilever’s new headquarters in Jakarta is located in the BSD Green Office Park, the country’s first green office district. This new office with a gross floor area of 50,477 square metres houses all employees from four separate offices in Jakarta under one roof. The design embodies the global company’s vision, values and European heritage within the Indonesia context. Completed in 2017, the interiors of the building is designed with the concept to support the spirit of community, collaboration, engagement and agility. Referenced to the traditional village planning in Indonesia, it has a ‘square’, ‘main roads’, and ‘streets’ to create a sense of community. The planning is focused on engaging group and individual work into zones to induce collaboration while maintaining privacy. The shifting tectonic plates create an organically shaped atrium space which is bathed in daylight. Piazza areas are located at the intersection of the shifting tectonic plates where there is an indentation on both the exterior and interior. A central stair creates an open theatre to accommodate all staff in town hall sessions and other events. Collaboration spaces are located around the atrium edge. The top four floors are office spaces with break-out areas; while the ground floor is dedicated to public and shared facilities. Surrounding the central, light-filled atrium that serves as a large event space are common facilities including a mosque, staff dining area, day care centre, fitness centre, beauty salon and multi-purpose hall. The ground floor houses several food and beverage outlets including the Magnum Café. Internal stairs allow staff to move through the building around the atrium. All community spaces are well connected to encourage interaction and embrace diversity. Indonesia batik fabrics, recycled teak timber, furniture and imagery of Indonesia are used throughout the headquarters to create a sense of place. The workspace is planned for collaboration and informal connectivity. There are no enclosed offices in order to provide the best access to natural light and views for all staff with enclosed meeting rooms placed around the core. Meeting room graphics and window treatment echoes the Unilever brand guidelines while imagery was specially shot in Indonesia to bring a local context to the global brand. Interspersed amongst the workstations are collaboration areas with different activity settings. Quiet nooks and informal meeting spaces are also dispersed around the building.
