MTN OFFICES, UGANDA
THE BRIEF
In collaboration with MTN Uganda, our brief was to conceptually redesign their head office interiors into a future-fit, human-centered workspace that reflects the brand’s bold identity and commitment to innovation in the digital age. This was a design-only scope, with a focus on developing a holistic interior vision that would reimagine the office as a dynamic, flexible, and inspiring environment for its teams. The design needed to celebrate MTN’s Ugandan presence while aligning with the broader pan-African spirit of the brand.
THE INSPIRATION
The proposed design draws on the dual energy of progress and local relevance—pairing cutting-edge workplace strategy with cues from Uganda’s vibrant culture and MTN’s signature visual language. The interior concept centers around adaptability and connection. Open-plan workspaces are balanced with quiet focus zones, meeting hubs, and communal lounges designed to promote collaboration and well-being. Informal break-out spaces, a tech-enabled boardroom, and a central atrium-like social core were envisioned to support a variety of work styles and encourage organic interaction.
A curated materials palette blends local craftsmanship with a contemporary edge—warm timber tones, textured wall finishes, and locally sourced artworks sit alongside MTN’s iconic yellow, deep charcoals, and sleek metallics. Subtle graphic treatments draw inspiration from Uganda’s natural landscape and digital connectivity, weaving storytelling into the spatial experience.
THE RESULT
The final design proposal is both distinctly Ugandan and globally aligned—an interior concept that is youthful, intelligent, and brand-led. It repositions the MTN Uganda office as not just a place of work, but a space of purpose: one that empowers innovation, reflects the company’s leadership in the telecom space, and provides a vibrant, future-facing experience for its people. Though unbuilt, the design lays a clear and compelling foundation for a next-generation workplace that is both authentically African and globally ambitious.
