Today, we spend our lives mostly in working environments, a different perspective of office space design is a necessity to re-address. TaeguTec is located in Kocaeli Organized Industrial Zone, it is a Factory and Administration Building Project. The main approach of the design was to intersect working life with the social needs. Thus the negative affects of work stress will be reduced by recreating the connection of inside and outside environment to reanimate the morale of the employees.
The project is designed as two separate bodies, controlled daylight is a prior beacon in the interior design. The transactions between office, production and social masses is supplied by glass tubes which provide connections between inside and outside while combining those main elements.
The main entrance, accents with sculptural water features and solid mass of the conference room. Ground floor consists the sum of a large exhibition space, a coffee surrounding the exhibition hall, meeting rooms and other social spaces which is freely open to common use. Those areas are well connected to daylight and outer spaces by various skylights and overhang terraces. upper floor is considered as open offices. A gallery is designed to connect and circulate this office and social areas which ends with skylights to controll daylight and provide continuity of inner-outer space relevance.
The holistic connection between the office and production schemes is the main goal in the architectural design. The production department is added to the office building as a second mass taking this principle into consideration. This relationship between administration and factory area is provided by glass tube bridge. Offering the feeling of being outside at one time, this glass bridge also used to raise awareness for the transition to another mass.
Architectural design aims to contribute the value created by the company's own corporate identity. Remarkably, façade design and material selection which places memory serves this purpose well.
