The BEAT, is a fluid signature interior design project inside an iconic regeneration project in the centre of Athens. The interior design of the BEAT Global Headquarters draws inspiration from the nature and tech ecosystem of the BEAT, as one of the top mobile app operators for riding-hailing taxis. 

The 6,500sqm Interior design spans along 4 floors within the Orbit office campus. As an innovative tech company, it literally sets the world in motion. Thus, the overall design is inspired by the constant movement, speed and the agile philosophy of the company with fluid, open spaces and various qualities into its fabric. The design identity reflects the company’s values and philosophy, with transparencies, various ‘bleisure’ areas and collaboration booths combining open areas and various sizes private soundproofed rooms for one-to-one or call meetings. The design focuses on creating comfortable and engaging spaces for people to work, grow and evolve, while promoting collaboration, communication and wellbeing. 

The use of fresh plants and vertical gardens embedded into the design contributes into the employee’s phycology, while promoting wellbeing and boosting their spirit. Various perks and game rooms are developed throughout the floors, including a silent music room, library, meditation room, brainstorming, VR room and open-air cinema at the sky garden of the building.

The Design of Beat Headquarters aims to inspire people and attract global talent, while creating an exciting yet sustainable workplace with unique qualities and immersive spatial experiences.
