Pfizer Center for

Digital Innovation

Thessaloniki 

Thessaloniki is a city with historical and architectural importance in Greece, which is reflected in its culture, colours and materials. As the choice to house the new Center for Digital Innovation and Global Business Services team in Thessaloniki was of great significance to Pfizer, our proposal to incorporate the local culture was embraced enthusiastically by the client.

The office space plan was developed using the Greek city plan as a model. The proximity of spaces and creating interactions to encourage and support connections between the users formed the layout and its adjacencies. Working neighbourhoods are designed along the perimeter of the main building accompanied by touchdown and break out areas carefully positioned adjacent to desks to provide collaboration and teamwork.
