Ho Chi Minh City Office

At Hoffman La Roche’s Vietnamese headquarters, the pharmaceutical giant’s commitment to innovation and human connection transforms into a workplace that reflects both global excellence and local culture. Located at Bitexco tower and taking 900 sqms, the design weaves together the company’s Swiss heritage with Vietnamese craftsmanship, creating an environment where employees experience the brand’s values of precision, care, and community in their daily work. The office features open collaborative spaces that encourage the cross-pollination of ideas, while private areas provide focused environments for the detailed work that pharmaceutical innovation demands. Local materials and artisanal touches honor Vietnam’s rich cultural heritage, creating a sense of place that grounds the global brand in its local context. Natural light floods through carefully positioned windows, while biophilic elements bring the vitality of nature indoors—a fitting metaphor for a company dedicated to human health and wellbeing.
