AKASYA A15 OFFICE

Akasya A15 Office, in the Akasya Shopping and Business Center which has a curvilinear plaza structure with a transparent facade and, is located at an important intersection of the main transportation arteries of the Anatolian Side of Istanbul; was designed by Thecatwork for a law firm in line with new needs by evaluating the formal benefits of the plaza building and user demands. Office plan with a central entrance half the size of its floor; the reception and meeting units are located in the center, with one branch extending to the working and service areas ending with the lounge area and the terrace, and the other branch to the management areas. Basically, the functions that are divided into office units and service areas are located inside the working and circulation areas outside the service area. Lighting was used so that the working units act as a single volume, independent of each other and at the same time strengthening their relationship with their surroundings. Curvilinear, transparent, independent working modules placed along the facade; allowed the light to continue horizontally throughout the office and penetrate the circulation line connecting the transparent modules. In this way, modules can be formed where acoustic needs can also be met under a single volume where the internal-external relationship is strengthened. The service areas remaining from this volume are positioned as opaque units close to the core with a horizontal corridor.

Material and color choices in order to emphasize the natural and continuous state of the design; uniform marble used in all circulation areas, glass dividers that provide transparency of the modules, and wooden panels of different textures and colors on the floor, wall, and ceiling. In addition to these three basic materials used, landscape and lighting lines that will highlight the form of the design were preferred. As a result of all these decisions; an office with a continuity that can be perceived at a glance, together with the decisions of light, material, and layout, has been realized.
