About Modelhane Bulego Barrualdea

Modelhane bulego-barrualde bat da, eskuko poltsen ekoizpen-tailer bat ere barne hartzen duena. Espazioa irekia eta garbia da, banaketa gutxikoa, ekoizpen-prozesuak etenik gabe jarraitu ahal izan dezan. Geometria desberdinetako adreiluek programa desberdinak bereizten dituzten banatzaileak osatzen dituzte. Material erdi-iragazkor batek lanpostuak eta ebaketa-gela banatzen ditu, eta silueta-efektu bat sortzen du. Barrualdea hiru eremu nagusiren inguruan antolatuta dago: erakusketa-gunea duen bilera-gela bat, lanpostuak eta ebaketa-gela. Kolore argiak erabiltzen dira, eta, horrela, poltsak dira kolore bakarra ematen dutenak.

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: Sphere Pendants: Diameter 400 mm
Bricks: 190 x 190 x 190 mm

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.
