CAN AQUA 

Can Aqua’s new headquarters was designed to bring together its diverse teams under one roof — blending a client showroom, training spaces, offices, and warehouse operations into a unified, brand-aligned environment. The goal: support growth while offering employees a space that’s functional, warm, and future-ready.
 

​We began with workplace analysis in collaboration with MySeat, combining occupancy data and employee surveys. This approach informed a detailed functional and technical program (PFT) tailored to Can Aqua’s range of users — from office staff to logistics teams and management. The design translates Can Aqua’s values of precision, service, and hospitality into spatial form:
 

• A bright, double-height reception to welcome clients and partners

• A showroom. both a retail environment and a pedagogical tool with long sightlines support product demonstration, technical education, and client engagement

• A fully equipped training room for workshops and client sessions

• Distinct office zones for focused work, collaboration, and technical operations

• A large cafeteria and lounge with a golf simulator and games area, promoting connection and balance

• A separate gym to support employee health and well-being
   

​Throughout, the project demonstrates an impressive restraint in its material expression, refined textures and crisp forms ground the space in tactile comfort and lasting design. Furniture by Concept Bureau enhances usability and cohesion across all zones. Greenery by Verroneau brings the outdoors in, with flooring finishes by SurfaceX and Interface. 

​With a user-centric and insight-led approach, the new Can Aqua HQ supports performance, cohesion, and talent retention — delivering an inspiring workplace for today and tomorrow.
