Article source: CINICI ARCHITECTS Workinn is the first Hip-Business hotel in Gebze, located within TAYSAD Organized Industrial Site (TOSB) at the outskirts of Istanbul in a recently established suburban center ‘Cayirova’. The 162 bed hotel utilizing 12 000 m2 closed area, resides nearby a busy traffic interchange connecting the campus with a transeauropean motorway.

The distinguishing tectonic character of the L-shaped white mass in plan is its facade built out of giant prefabricated concrete panels where the windows are treated merely as intervals in between.

Water efficiency, solid waste recycle, use of local materials is just a few of the areas that have been carefully evaluated within the design in order to produce an environmentally friendly building.

Inaugurated in August 2013, Workinn is an architectural artifact which is going to pioneer the nearby developments around both in terms of aesthetics and with its sensibility to environment.
