Case Study: TikTok transforms its Mexico City workplace with Gensler

TikTok boosts employee wellbeing and saves 20% energy with Gensler

TikTok faced the challenge of moving its Mexico City office beyond a corporate, brand-focused aesthetic to create a people-first workplace. The goal was to integrate local culture, support collaboration, and promote wellbeing while reflecting its global identity. To address this, the company partnered with the vendor Gensler for interior design services.

Gensler's solution drew inspiration from local art galleries, organizing the office around a central gallery-style circulation path. The design incorporated local art, sustainable materials, and a layout inspired by TikTok's swiping motion to foster collaboration. The impact was a significant boost in employee satisfaction and wellbeing for over 800 employees. The project also achieved a 20% energy savings, creating an inspiring environment that strengthened TikTok's local identity.
