Best Commercial Interior Design Projects in Philippines: Driving Business Success Through Workplace Innovation

Manila has solidified its position as a critical business centre in Southeast Asia, with office occupancy rates reaching 95% in Q1 2025 according to JLL’s Asia Pacific Market Report.  

The city’s commercial real estate sector is experiencing unprecedented demand as global companies establish regional headquarters, drawn by the Philippines’ projected 6.8% GDP growth this year.  

Local and multinational firms now face dual pressures: optimising expensive real estate investments while creating environments that attract scarce tech talent in a market where vacancy rates for skilled professionals remain below 3%. 

Strategic commercial interior design offers Manila-based businesses a competitive advantage by transforming workplaces into assets that enhance productivity, reduce real estate costs, and reflect corporate values. Paperspace Asia’s landmark projects demonstrate how effective workplace strategy in Manila converts these business challenges into opportunities for growth and innovation.

Accenture Cyberpark 1: Future-Ready BPO Workspace 

Location: Quezon City, Philippines 

Size: 27,600 sq. ft. 

Challenge: Create a dynamic environment supporting seamless task-shifting and collaboration for a global professional services leader. 

Paperspace designed a flexible workspace that: 

• Increased employee productivity through intuitive transitions between focus and collaborative work 

• Enhanced talent retention through thoughtfully crafted environments 

• Supported efficient real estate utilisation with multi-purpose zones 

• Reinforced corporate identity through cohesive design elements 

The workspace features visually defined zones marked by painted accent columns and patterned carpet tiles. These elements create rhythm while maintaining an open layout. Strategically placed collaboration areas and meeting rooms provide functional pauses across the floorplate. 

Nature-inspired patterns create a calming backdrop throughout the space. The standout feature—a Tiffany blue pantry with a skylight-inspired ceiling—offers employees a genuine break space that enhances wellbeing and social connection. Office Interior Design Philippines.

Kantar: Maximising Collaboration in Limited Space 

Location: Pasig City, Philippines 

Size: 12,000 sq. ft. 

Challenge: Implement Activity-Based Working principles to increase cross-team collaboration while maximising limited real estate. 

Results delivered: 

• Increased cross-team collaboration through open plan layout 

• Improved real estate efficiency achieving a 1:1.3 sharing ratio 

• 100% reuse of existing furniture, aligning with sustainability goals 

• Reduced hierarchy by placing business leaders on the shared floor 

The redesign features a nature-inspired theme embodying Kantar’s ecosystem philosophy. A sculptural tree at the entrance represents interconnected growth, while natural materials including finished bricks and a full moss wall welcome visitors at reception. 

The project successfully transformed an angular, challenging floorplate into an efficient workspace. By replacing some collaboration areas with shared desks, the design maintained sufficient seating capacity while supporting new work patterns. Office Interior Design Philippines.

Confidential Tech Company: Scaling Workspace for Rapid Growth  

Location: Taguig City, Philippines

• Enhanced client experience through user-centric approach 

Flexibility defines this massive workspace, with rooms easily converting between collaboration spaces and standard classroom configurations. Modular furniture and adaptable setups allow for seamless headcount expansion, protecting the company’s real estate investment as it grows.
