About Modelhane Te Rohe o Roto o te Tari

He rohe o roto tari a Modelhane e mau ana hoki i tētahi awheawhe hanga pēke ā-ringa. He tuwhera, he mārama hoki te wāhi, he iti noa ngā ārai wehewehe, kia rere ai te hātepe whakaputa kāore he aukatinga. Ko ngā pereki whai āhua rerekē ka noho hei kaiwehewehe e tohu ana i ngā mahi rerekē. Mā tētahi rauemi āhua puare e wehea ai ngā tūranga mahi mai i te rūma tapahi, ā, ka hangaia he āhua tāruarua. E whakaritea ana te rohe o roto ki ngā wāhi matua e toru: he rūma hui me tētahi wāhi whakaatu, ngā tūranga mahi me te rūma tapahi. Ka whakamahia ngā tae māmā, nō reira ko ngā pēke anake te tae e kitea ana.

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.
