Balancing privacy and collaboration at PepsiCo

Discover how PepsiCo’s Regional HQ in Riyadh has integrated the Framery Four smart pod to provide employees with a soundproof workspace for focus and work.

December 8, 2025

PepsiCo is committed to creating inspiring work environments that foster connection and innovation in their offices across the world. Their new Regional Headquarters in Riyadh, designed by Echelle Architects, is a bold landmark created to foster connection and teamwork. From immersive screens to dynamic digital signage, the office is a high-energy environment built for impact.

To ensure this collaborative setting remains productive, the facility management team sought a solution that introduces essential privacy for focused work. After finding success with Framery One in their Warsaw office, they incorporated a Framery Four smart pod to provide the necessary balance by offering employees a soundproof retreat in a busy open environment.

“Our Framery smart pod has been a great addition to our office, providing employees with privacy and focus while maintaining the collaborative spirit of our open-space design.”

Privacy in an open environment

The headquarters utilizes an open-plan layout to encourage a collaborative spirit among the team. However, maintaining productivity in such a lively setting requires dedicated zones for concentration. Framery Four provides a critical solution by offering a distinct and soundproof area within the open office.

“Framery Four has been a game-changer in our open office environment. It provides a quiet, private, and comfortable space for quick meetings or calls without interrupting others.”

This integration allows the team to embrace the collaborative energy of the open floor plan while having immediate access to a private space for deep work and confidential conversations.

Functional modern design

The office aesthetics are defined by vibrant graffiti and bright branding to create spaces that are playful yet purposeful. Unique design elements replace conventional setups to prioritize an atmosphere of pride and belonging.

“The design fits perfectly with our modern PepsiCo workspace, combining functionality with style.”

Framery Four fits seamlessly into this vibrant landscape with a clean and modern design that provides a quiet counterpoint to the dynamic surroundings without clashing with the visual energy of the space.

Elevated work experience

In a workplace where technology and collaboration take center stage, the need for on-demand privacy is critical. Framery Four supports PepsiCo’s focus on agility by offering immediate access to privacy for virtual meetings to ensure the team stays connected across the region and the globe.
