The Design

About Modelhane Interior de oficina

Modelhane es un interior de oficina que también alberga un taller de producción de bolsos. El espacio es abierto y despejado, con divisiones mínimas, de modo que el proceso productivo puede fluir sin interrupciones. Ladrillos de geometrías variadas conforman separadores que delimitan los distintos programas. Un material semipermeable divide los puestos de trabajo de la sala de corte y genera un efecto de silueta. El interior se organiza en torno a tres áreas principales: una sala de reuniones con zona de exposición, los puestos de trabajo y la sala de corte. Se emplean colores claros, de manera que los bolsos aportan el único color.

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.
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.
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.
