we faced various challenges in designing BAT PARS head office, including the spatial arrangement of the teams with their particulars standards, spatial ergonomic standards that needed the approval of the EHS team of BAT, limitation of space for designing diverse spaces corresponding with International standards, limited time for design and execution, etc.
The whole plan is a combination of open plan with straight and 120-degree desks (Cluster Workstation Design ), which was designed and implemented for the first time in office spaces in Iran, which is the highest standard of office workstation space for employees.
BAT`s head office with 2000 square-meter area is located on the first and second floors of Madiran building. This office is designed for 230 people and has 9 meeting rooms, 7 management rooms, smoking room, archive rooms, copy areas, On each floors , there is a breakout area with a different design with natural green walls, brick walls, wooden flooring, and exposed ceiling, which creates an attractive and different environment from the whole office space.
While entering the reception and waiting area, a modern environment with ceramic floor and Calcutta counter design, as well as a warm atmosphere created with wooden Louver ceilings and large and impressive green wall, which hinting at a unified design language throughout the office.
Attempts have been made to design and create natural green walls all around the office and flower boxes are used around the office for the first time in Iran to achieve the world standards for biophilic design and provide the highest grade of health and wellbeing in the workplace.
A dynamic and modern space has been created by using ceiling elements such as colored exposed ducts, exposed installations, linear pendant lights, and built-in lights, white brick walls, and Environmental graphics including window films.
