What Unispace does

Unispace is a privately held global interior design and workplace services firm that delivers integrated strategy, design, and construction services for enterprise clients across 13+ countries. Headquartered in Sydney and operating through 27 studios in four regions (North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia & New Zealand), the firm employs 501–1,000 people and serves large multinational organizations undertaking workplace transformations, relocations, and hybrid-work transitions. Sector emphasis includes life sciences, financial services, technology and communications, luxury goods, automotive, and professional services, with named clients spanning Boston Scientific, Kering, Ford, Rolls-Royce, Biogen, Smith+Nephew, Fortinet, Tripadvisor, Deliveroo, Zoom, Coty, Adecco, Astellas Pharma, Pernod Ricard, and WeWork.

The firm's core offering is organized around three integrated service lines—Strategy, Design, and Construction—plus an HSEQ (Health, Safety, Environment, and Quality) add-on, unified by an internally branded "Think Create Make" delivery methodology that combines strategic advisory, commercial interior design, experience design, engineering, and construction execution. Technology infrastructure is built on third-party platforms rather than proprietary IP: Procore for construction documentation and progress tracking, OpenSpace for live-capture site monitoring, and BIM for design coordination and 3D visualization. Capability has been expanded through two acquisitions: Downstream (October 2021), a Portland-based experiential design firm with operations in 26 countries, and BioPharma Engineering (January 2022), an Ireland-based specialist in laboratory, research, and manufacturing facilities for the life sciences industry. The firm also publishes an annual Global Workplace Insights research report built on multi-market employee survey data.

Unispace generates revenue through project-based, fixed-fee professional services engagements scoped per workplace transformation, with no publicly disclosed pricing tiers or rate cards. Go-to-market is exclusively direct enterprise field sales executed through each regional studio, with no reseller or marketplace channels. The firm has pursued a thought-leadership marketing strategy anchored on proprietary research, LinkedIn, YouTube, Instagram, and participation in CRE industry events. Leadership was overhauled in February–March 2026 with the appointment of Paul Saville-King (ex-CBRE Global Workplace Solutions CPO) as Group CEO and Matthew Eastwood (ex-CBRE Global Workplace Solutions Global COO) as EMEA CEO, signaling an intensification of European growth and a positioning to compete more directly with global CRE services platforms.
