Design Brief
The design brief for BCG’s new headquarters in the Kingdom was to revive and revitalize the workspace by creating a modern, functional, and aesthetically pleasing workplace that reflects the brand identity, values, and culture of BCG while infusing local identity and regional influences throughout the design. The design should foster a collaborative work environment, enhance employee productivity, and impress clients and visitors.

The design should embody the following key elements:
Innovation: Utilize cutting-edge design and technology to create a forward-thinking workspace.
Sustainability: Incorporate sustainable practices and materials to ensure environmental responsibility.
Well-being: Prioritize the health and well-being of employees through ergonomic furniture, natural lighting, and wellness facilities.
Brand Identity: Reflect the company’s brand identity and culture through cohesive design elements, colour schemes, and materials.
Local Identity: Integrate elements that reflect the local culture, heritage, and regional aesthetics.

Design Inspiration
We start with the journey of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, having evolved from a nomadic pastoral state, home to some of mankind’s first settlers, into a modern metropolis that offers the region and the world unparalleled resources, amenities, and lifestyle. This transformation is a testament to the country’s resilience and forward-thinking vision. Saudi Arabia’s development reflects a commitment to innovation, sustainability, and cultural preservation, encapsulated in its Vision 2030 initiative.

Taking inspiration from Saudi Arabia’s ambitious vision for future generations as well as its rich natural diversity, the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) Riyadh office concept draws strong parallels to the Vision 2030 foresight. This vision aims to diversify the economy, enhance the quality of life, and place Saudi Arabia at the forefront of global development. Similarly, the new BCG office in Riyadh is designed to be a beacon of innovation and excellence, reflecting the nation’s dynamic journey.

The odyssey that the country and region have embarked on is a narrative we want the users to experience in the new BCG home. This experience is crafted to be immersive and inspiring, mirroring the country’s transition from its historical roots to its contemporary achievements. Driven by its people, values, and conduct, the design language of the BCG office is rooted in elements that are authentic to both BCG and KSA. This involves a blend of traditional aesthetics with modern functionality, creating a space that honours the past while embracing the future.

In essence, the BCG Riyadh office is not just a workspace; it is a reflection of Saudi Arabia’s storied past and its ambitious future. It serves as a microcosm of the nation’s journey, offering an environment that fosters creativity, collaboration, and growth, much like the broader Vision 2030 aims to do for the country.
