Designed by OM ARCH, this 330 m² expansion project reinterprets the organizational scheme of Fiba Holding’s administrative and financial departments in Istanbul through a horizontally structured hierarchy, while at the same time creating flexible and clearly legible workspaces.

The design language is built around a plan strategy in which the main circulation is defined as a spatial spine, with functions positioned around it to establish a balanced network of relationships. The program brings together enclosed and more private spaces—such as meeting rooms and executive offices—with shared zones including the open office, communal kitchen, storage areas, and coffee counter, proposing a layered spatial organization.

The primary circulation axis renders the plan readable as two distinct zones: on one side, shared areas and the open office; on the other, meeting rooms and enclosed offices where privacy is more carefully controlled. This axis is conceived not merely as a passageway, but as a “spatial backbone,” strengthened by cloakroom and storage elements. In this way, circulation becomes both an organizing and guiding device: daily operations are resolved discreetly, while orientation within the office occurs through a natural flow.

As this is an expansion project, the entrance features a brand-focused accent wall instead of a reception desk. The kitchen and meeting rooms positioned near the entry gather visitor movement within the front zone, creating a more controlled welcoming sequence, while open work areas and private offices continue along a calmer band towards the back.

A unit combining the shared printer point, coffee station, and personal lockers is conceived as a “stop” at the heart of the office, acting as a contact node that encourages social interaction.

Material selections prioritize acoustic comfort and hygiene. Perforated acoustic ceilings and easy-to-clean PVC flooring support a quiet, controlled working atmosphere. While neutral and pastel tones bring calmness to the general volumes, subtle color accents in the shared-area furniture introduce a measured rhythm.

Ultimately, the plan organization—through a strong circulation spine, balanced transitions between functions, and spatial continuity carried into three dimensions—delivers high efficiency within a 330 m² footprint. Daylight, transparency, and acoustic balance define a contemporary and tranquil workplace, while the project also lays a flexible foundation for the institution’s potential future growth scenarios.
