About The Reflection of Light Office

The Reflection of Light is an office interior created inside a renovated old building with an area of 230 square meters. Numerous existing columns were concealed behind wall panels, so an even and consistent wall was formed in each space. The rooms are arranged so that managers and related staff remain in contact within a transparent and intimate environment. Walls are covered with colored crystal glass, and glass partitions separate the rooms so that natural light reaches every space. Geopolymer concrete, green concrete and waste water management were applied.

Unique Properties
The main concern of this project was to solve the dilemma of columns and unused spaces between these columns, which were covered with wall panels. Eventually an efficient and consistent wall was created for each space. The next important issue was the design of the communication between the internal managers of the company, where the rooms were designed and put together so that the related staff would stay in touch and be in a completely transparent and intimate environment.

Design Challenge
Designing the plan was a challenge because of the many columns in the building and the effort to hide them and to have the office with the right light.
Research
The method facilitates design through an iterative process drawing on different knowledge, as to design while considering different aspects of architectural design such as function, structure, light and acoustic. These aspects are continuously considered for the office. The method consists of five phases: 1) Problem or idea phase 2) Analysis 3) sketching 4) synthesis 5) presentation. Where the work between the different phases happens iteratively.
Inspiration
The design of this unit has always been a matter of simplicity and readability. All walls are covered with colored crystal glass to allow individual images of the project walls to be viewed as soon as they are in space. Another important thing for us was that all spaces had natural light, so glass partitions were used to separate the rooms.
Project Duration
The project started in june 2019 in tehran and finished in september 2019.
Operation Flow
The office is a renovation of an old building. Access to all the spaces and their proper layout was the most challenging part of the design due to the limited area of the building.
