Ultraconfidentiel Design was commissioned to develop 125 000 Sq. Ft. of office space for the company’s employees across various hierarchies.

The new headquarters of Zamasport – a brand which is among the pioneers of Italian prêt à porter – promotes a new relationship between technology, humans and environment.

Trilegal, a leading full‐service law firm in India, recently inaugurated its new office in Delhi. With over 600 lawyers across existing offices in Mumbai, Gurugram and Bengaluru, the firm holds a reputed stature in the legal industry.
After the successful completion of their Mumbai office project, Trilegal entrusted Ultraconfidentiel Design with yet another branch for their growing team.
Trilegal acquired a space of 40,000 Sq.Ft. on the first floor of a corporate facility in the bustling business neighbourhood of Saket District Centre in New Delhi. Drawing inspiration from the firm’s value systems of diversity and inclusion, meritocracy and transparency, the workspace carves out two sections connected through a central circulation core. One‐half of the floor is dedicated to meeting rooms for confidential client meetings, while the other side offers the users an open‐plan workspace and cabins.
The Economic Advancement Center (EAC) is a job training and employment resource center, serving the community through a partnership between the City of South San Francisco, Job Train, Renaissance Entrepreneurship Center and the County of San Mateo. For this project, William Duff Architects (WDA) transformed the former bank space, injecting energy and vitality into a shared workplace with open and private offices, meeting rooms and job training facilities. The team created an efficient design that could be delivered quickly, minimizing supply chain delays and allowing for maximum value from the City’s budget. The result is that the EAC feels more akin to an enticing start-up environment, rather than a government facility. The lobby’s green wall creates a welcoming vibe and functions as both a visual focal point and as a divider, housing the Center’s public resource library and the innovation classroom area behind it. EAC’s positive out-comes are two-fold: it tapped the transformative power of architecture and design to create a welcoming space for local job seekers and entrepreneurs, and from a practical standpoint, activated a long-vacant city property, creating a model for revitalizing cities.
William Duff Architects (WDA) acted as Project Architect for Ireland House, the new LEED Gold home of three Irish government agencies housed under one roof. The project involved the tenant improvement of the entire 9,755 square feet of the entire floor of a Class A office building in San Francisco. The firm wrapped the core in warm wood paneling along with additional soffit details to create a visual shared hearth that can be experienced throughout the workplace. The “hearth” visually and culturally connects the three programs while allowing each agency to have its own identity. The project also features secured zones and a flexible assembly space that can be used for consulate events that are open to the public.
KCAP and Kraaijvanger Architects transformed the Stationspostgebouw, a former postal sorting centre next to the Hollands Spoor train station in The Hague, into a sustainable and social work environment for the 21st century while respecting the original architecture. Renovation of the national monument was commissioned by LIFE, SENS real estate and PostNL, the national postal service and former occupant. The building is home once again to PostNL, now serving as its headquarters.
For this project, we made a new office building for the Ribeirão Preto Shared Fuel Base. The building is developed on two floors. The upper floor has 12 commercial rooms, reception, and bathrooms, and the lower floor, living area, technical area, and storage – in addition to a covered area planned for future expansion.
Ferring Pharmaceuticals A/S has opened its new home in Copenhagen. The site occupies a pivotal waterfront position alongside the Øresund crossing, just north of Copenhagen International Airport.
