EDDA Architecture designs a dynamic, trendy office for Generation Y: Aktif Group, where lighting design takes the onus of brand identity…

Aktif Group’s new administrative offices in Istanbul spell a new working typology, where the administrative and social areas are seamlessly combined to foster a stress-free, highly energetic and ergonomic working environment that meets a minimalist design.

Carrying out technology-integrated designs that optimise user experience with a focus on corporate identity, EDDA Architecture has chiselled the 1400 sq. m. interiors in keeping with the dynamics of the young staff. Constructive employee inputs have helped trim design aspects to meet employee expectations.

Using a medley of subdued colours, cosy materials and interior landscaping in a predominantly neutral interior envelope, areas are subtly demarcated via colour differences; as the schematic reflects the business character of the brand. Creating variegation in spatial flow, the board room is circular in form and areas are segregated via graphics structured on panels designed as office walls and glass separators.

With the aim to achieve a transparent and flowing ambience reflecting the contemporary working culture of the brand, transparent glass separators define the working, meeting, training and seminar areas of the departments and the social areas, allowing maximum day light in the working areas, and ensure greater employee comfort by way of such a spacious environment.

Taking the design element further, these different forms are reflected on the ceilings and furniture to further highlight the three-dimensional effect of the space in its entirety. Once again, the EDDA Architecture signature – lighting design - one of the most prominent elements in the project, brings the office alive with its arrangement and lux levels.
