The BCI Head Office Interior Design in Dhaka was envisioned and executed by Zero Inch Interiors Ltd. to reflect the ethos of the Bangladesh Chamber of Industries (BCI)—a national trade body committed to industrial advancement. Our goal was to create a minimal, transparent, and contextually sensitive workspace aligned with BCI’s values of progressive leadership and clarity in vision.

Covering 5,000 square feet including a terrace, the space integrates contemporary minimalism, sustainability, and functional zoning—hallmarks of Zero Inch’s design philosophy.
