We developed a comprehensive design proposal for EY’s new corporate offices in Santiago, encompassing nearly 7,000 m² distributed across multiple levels. The challenge was to conceive an innovative, flexible, and sustainable workplace that embodies EY’s identity and core values of community, trust, and innovation.
Vision and Concept
The proposal is based on a clear premise: the workplace is no longer merely an obligation, but an experience that attracts, connects, and empowers people.
The design places employees at the center, fostering well-being, creativity, collaboration, and a sense of belonging.
Inspired by EY’s transformative energy and its motto “Shape the future with confidence,” the concept defines ecosystems of work that combine zones for focus, collaboration, social exchange, and hospitality—creating a dynamic and adaptable environment.
