Diageo, the world’s largest premium spirits maker with a portfolio of iconic heritage brands, expanded its global operations from Bangalore to Gurgaon with the ambition to create a flagship workplace that could unite a largely new workforce while embodying its ethos of celebrating life.

Conceived as an immersive destination beyond the traditional office, the workplace brings together people, culture and brand through a hospitality-led approach. Community sits at its centre, with premium spaces designed to support connection, creativity and shared moments – reflecting Diageo’s identity as a host and its legacy of craft.

A clear and engaging spatial framework unfolds across three interconnected floors. Team neighbourhoods extend along east and west wings, meeting at the centrally located community spaces that draw people together and support everyday encounters. These shared environments shape movement, energy and interaction, echoing the flow and processes of distillation.

Diageo’s heritage is expressed throughout in a material and architectural language rooted in making. Industrial references are reinterpreted alongside Indian craft traditions, creating a layered and memorable sense of place.

Grounded in India’s cultural richness and diversity, the workplace offers a refined and welcoming environment where people feel connected, hosted and part of a shared experience.
