The new corporate headquarters of Dipharma SA in Mendrisio, Switzerland, transforms an existing office space previously occupied by another tenant into a contemporary workplace tailored to the needs of an international pharmaceutical company. SOLIDS managed the project from the client’s initial vision through design, tender coordination and consultant management, continuing through to completion and the official inauguration.

The programme combines private offices, open-plan work areas, meeting rooms, phone booths, informal collaboration spaces and advanced videoconferencing facilities. Rather than organizing these functions as isolated rooms, the concept creates an “office village” in which different working environments support both focused activity and interaction.

At the centre of the project is the break area, conceived as a real pub and informal meeting place. This social heart gives the workplace a distinctive identity and encourages spontaneous exchange between colleagues, balancing the more structured areas of the headquarters. The result is a flexible and welcoming office environment where technology, collaboration and corporate culture are integrated within a coherent interior architecture tailored to Dipharma’s operational needs.
