The sustainable, modern work and showroom areas of Times Studio, the new brand of the famous phone accessory brand Mopal, which was created with the aim of offering original and quality products to its users and includes many technological products, were designed by the PIM team, highlighting its technological face, diversity and innovation. The work and showroom areas with an area of 900 m2 are located within the Mepa Plaza campus in the Bahcesehir district of Istanbul.
At the beginning of the design process, it was planned that the concepts of flexibility, transparency, colorful corporate identity structure and sustainable technology would form the main system of the design in the transformation of the existing office areas and play a dominant role in the spatial structure.
The concepts that form the main system of the design were blended during the process and helped to create innovative work and showroom areas that appeal to all age groups and contain different functions. In addition to the work function in the spaces created, it was aimed for employees and guests to socialize together, organize events, do post-cast shootings and see the technological development and diversity of the company.
The project consists of 4 parts: showroom, work, management and social areas. The showroom area is designed as a highly diverse experiential technology store where the first impression is made for employees and incoming customers. In addition to the exhibition areas created within the showroom area, there are meeting areas where one-on-one interaction with incoming guests can be provided and post cast studios that allow social media shootings.
After the first impression in the showroom area, it is planned to provide a controlled distribution to work, management and social areas.
Instead of the traditional working model in work areas, a space design approach that positively affects productivity, is more comfortable, flexible and keeps the interaction between employees strong has been considered.
In social area designs, it is aimed for users with different profiles to work together, brainstorm, socialize and have interactive communication during the day.
A design approach that refers to the strong and deep-rooted structure of the company, where board members can work comfortably and flexibly, and reflects its modern and modest attitude has been adopted in management areas.
As a result, showrooms and work spaces that respond to the company's future goals, are sustainable, contain elements from its colorful corporate identity, and are modern and adaptable to today's conditions have been created within the scope of the design. It is hoped that this design will inspire the retail store concept that the company will create in the future.
