About Modelhane Office
Modelhane is an office interior that also contains a handbag production workshop. The space is open and uncluttered, with minimal partitions, so the production process can flow without interruption. Bricks with varying geometries form separators that mark the different programs. A semi-permeable material divides the workstations from the cutting room and creates a silhouette effect. The interior is arranged around three main areas: a meeting room with a display area, the workstations and the cutting room. Light colors are used, so the bags provide the only color.

- Unique Properties
- Incorporating both an office and a handbag production workshop, Modelhane aimed to bring a fresh perspective to the workshop with its simple, light and permeable space setup. The space is open and uncluttered, with minimal partitions, allowing for a seamless flow of production process.The design aimed to create a cohesive yet distinct atmosphere within the space, with separators designed to differentiate different programs using bricks with
varying geometries. - Dimensions & Packaging

- Production Technology
- In this project, existing waffle structure on the ceiling, concrete, and an all-glass facade has inspired us to design a transparent and minimalist interior architecture. Because we didn't want to move away from concrete and glass as a material, we embarked on a search for lighter, more permeable, and different forms of material that can still incorporate concrete.
- Project Duration
- The project started in January 2023 in Istanbul and finished in March 2023.
- Operation Flow
- Modelhane was designed with free plan and realized as a project where the interior architecture centered around three main spaces—meeting room with display area, workstations, and cutting room—structured based on the flow within. In order to separate the workstations from the cutting room in the production area, a semi-permeable material was chosen, achieving a silhouette effect to distinguish the cutting room from the main space.
- Inspiration
- While designing this project, apart from it being a production workshop and office, we aimed to create an atmosphere of an art gallery and laboratory. We wanted to integrate the precision and hygiene of the production workshop with the laboratory, ultimately defining the resulting product as an artwork and creating a sense of visiting an art gallery. Therefore, we aimed to design the space with light colors, where only the bags were colored.
