Design Details

Unique Properties
Unilever Istanbul's innovative office design stands out for its commitment to inclusive and sustainable workspaces. With gender-neutral facilities, private pods, and well-being rooms, it fosters diversity and employee well-being. Biophilic elements, natural materials, and advanced lighting automation enhance productivity. This design's strength lies in creating a harmonious balance between functionality, comfort, and environmental responsibility, setting a new standard for modern workplaces.
Inspiration
When Gaudi created his works, he drew inspiration from nature. Similarly, in the Unilever project, we aimed to evoke a sense of nature in the space, using natural and flowing forms abstractly.We incorporated the amorphous forms inspired by nature into the shell and fixed seating elements within the space. Additionally, we utilized these amorphous forms in the entrance of Unilever, where they welcome people and accentuate the brand identity.
Realization and Technology
In the Unilever office project, fire-resistant acoustic ceiling covering materials and materials suitable for sustainable design have been used.
Operation and Interaction
The Unilever office project has been designed according to an open office system, allowing users to work flexibly anywhere and anytime they want, rather than dedicated desks. This has created flexible spaces for users and increased interaction among people. Additionally, sustainability and employee well-being were prioritized in the design, contributing to a healthier and more environmentally friendly workspace.
