Administration Building designed by EDDA Architecture, an Istanbul based interior design studio, integrates the corporate identity of the company to a functional design approach by transforming the physical challenges into an advantage. After a need has risen for the head office of ECOSTAR Termoheat Inc., to move a new point, which was more convenient in terms of its physical conditions and in a way, for to provide the opportunity of company development, one of the floor of the Monumento Kartal project has been selected as the head office.

During the planning, the building, in which ten separate offices in each floor were envisaged to be placed, raised some physical difficulties to us. For this reason, there were some elements in the planning of the intra-floor circulation areas and the allocation of the wet volumes which were binding and impossible to be changed.

As a planning, it was demanded that the administration offices’ being intertwined with the other units, however, while providing this, reaching the administration offices’ being in certain limits and being restricted. For this reason, by dividing the office floor into two around the elevator hall which constituted the building nucleus, two separate entrances were formed.

This circular and organic form, constituted our design motto generally inside the space, both in material selection and the selection of the furniture and separations. Generally, as all the departments were situated in the open office plan in themselves, each department was separated from each other with glass separations. As the whole of the facade of the building’s was glass coated and also the internal separators’ being glass, daylight was raised into a maximum level in all the office.

Also, in each department, visuals which reflected the firm applications and products, were frequently given place. In the facade of the building, the floor garden and terrace which were placed in every floor, were designed as to have the workers relieve their tiredness of the intense work rhythm and having a rest.

Furniture, cabinets, work tables were all designed according to their places and as special designs. Generally, in the predominantly white office furniture, in certain places, differences were created. Besides the administration offices’ floor coating was carpet, all the furniture were in natural wood colour and texture. In certain parts, by solving the wooden ceilings and the lighting together, integrity was provided. The illumination elements were selected from the products of Kreon and Avolux.
