Synopsys Inc. has opened the doors to its new Porto office, a stunning workplace designed in collaboration with Tétris and JLL, with support from Haworth Portugal. This inspiring project showcases how thoughtful workplace design can combine sustainability, employee well-being, and acoustic comfort, with BuzziSpace solutions playing a pivotal role.

A Future-Ready Office for Synopsys Porto

As a global leader in silicon design and verification, Synopsys continues to expand across Europe. The refurbishment of its Porto location was an opportunity to create a future-ready workplace that supports a growing workforce of more than 500 employees.

The new office balances acoustics, functionality, design, and sustainability, while fostering a people-first environment that empowers employees to thrive.

“The furniture makes the project in many ways. It was interesting to see how people just simply took to using the space. It’s very intuitive in terms of zoning and flow.”
— Olly Dickinson, Synopsys Director of Places, EMEA

Human-Centered Workplace Design

Unlike Synopsys’ multi-team Munich hub, the Porto office serves as a dedicated growth hub for one core team. This gave the design a unique opportunity to create a focal point workplace, where collaboration, agility, and employee well-being drive every choice.

The result is an intuitive office that adapts to different workstyles, offering both collaborative zones and quiet areas for focus.

BuzziSpace Solutions Featured in Synopsys Porto

We are proud to see BuzziSpace products contributing to the creation of this inspiring environment. Our acoustic and functional solutions support both collaboration and concentration, ensuring the office is as comfortable as it is beautiful.

Featured solutions include:

BuzziNest – private, soundproof pods for focus and calls.
BuzziChip – acoustic lighting that combines performance with style.
BuzziBracks – modular partitions for flexible, reconfigurable spaces.

Together, these BuzziSpace solutions reduce noise while improving acoustic comfort and contributing to a flexible office layout that adapts to Synopsys’ evolving needs.

A Workplace Built to Last

This future-ready office not only reflects Synopsys’ commitment to employee well-being and environmental responsibility but also sets a benchmark for innovative workplace design in Europe.
