Diageo Headquarters, Athens

The concept breaks onto three distinctive areas, divided according to their function and different brand influences. Upon entering the office, the first area makes its appearance, welcoming the company’s employees and visitors with an actual authentic bar inspired by Johnnie Walker, the renowned Diageo whiskey brand. A truly social space, that features a dynamic ‘boomerang’ shape bar inspired by whiskey’s distillery tradition and ingredients. Using rich, smooth materials and textures, a brave, warm atmosphere is created with striking notes of gold and blue hues, that artfully come together in an eclectic finesse.

Influenced by another Diageo brand, “Don Julio”, the second area operates as a dedicated working zone. With Architecture done by A&M Architects, the open plan features bright, colorful, and immersive spaces that engage the employees to the Mexican heritage of tequila, while a laidback and playful element can be found across various decorative items, statement lighting and the acoustic panels that remind the Mexican patterns. Green velvet upholstery, dark-painted walls, earthy walnut hues, and a checkered flooring comprise a sulky backdrop for the sophisticated and glamorous meeting room that can be altered to transform its layout depending on the needs. The third area is a multifunction room, inspired by the premium Tanqueray gin and its London heritage.
