BAT Chile × Silen: balancing openness and focus

In the heart of Santiago’s financial district, British American Tobacco has reimagined its workplace inside the iconic Titanium Tower. Designed to foster openness, collaboration, and wellbeing, the new office blends modern design with functionality — and with Silen pods, it ensures employees also have the privacy and focus spaces they need.

  • Location: Santiago, Chile

  • Industry/Sector: Manufacturing

  • Location type: Office

  • Office/space size: 2,000 m²

A workplace built for connection

When British American Tobacco set up its Santiago offices in the Titanium Tower, the goal was clear: create a modern, people-first environment that puts collaboration and openness at the forefront.

Designed by Casbro Spa, the 2,000 m² space avoids traditional compartmentalization and instead maximizes natural light with open workstations along the facades. The layout features very few private offices, prioritizing flexible and collaborative areas where employees can connect and share ideas.

Social spaces, like the kitchenette designed as a central gathering hub, and the adaptable training room reflect this vision — an office that blends design and function while subtly embedding BAT’s corporate identity. Neutral tones and elegant finishes are punctuated by brand-inspired graphics, making the space both timeless and distinctly BAT.

Where openness meets focus

But in a workplace designed around openness, the need for privacy and concentration never disappears. That’s where Silen comes in.

Silen pods give BAT employees the spaces that the open layout can’t: quiet rooms for deep focus, confidential conversations, or hybrid meetings without distractions. Woven seamlessly into the design, they provide flexibility that keeps the office both collaborative and functional.

In Santiago, BAT’s offices stand as a modern workplace that embodies innovation, collaboration, and wellbeing — and with Silen, employees have the freedom to choose the environment that best supports their work.
