The project involves the reconstruction of two separate units of FANAP company›s administrative building, as part of the platform initiative. The aim is to create a design that captures the youthful and creative essence of the platform while being independent from the corporate identity of FANAP.
Deep studies on the platform›s organizational brandbook have guided the design team. The physical program focuses on functional performance and contractual communications. The design aims to create a space that preserves the privacy and autonomy of the subsidiary companies while fostering communication and interaction among them. It ensures that individuals are not isolated in their workstations. The design is anchored in the primary archetypes of the platform›s brand: the «Explorer-Magician» and the «Ruler-Hero.» For the second floor, which embodies the platform as an accelerator supporting startups, emphasis is placed on the «Ruler-Hero» archetype. This is visually represented by a spiral closed path that moves through shared spaces. This path symbolizes the journey of growth and exploration that accompanies the daily activities of the platform›s teams. The use of the platform›s main color, blue, for this path reinforces its supportive nature. On the third floor, the client›s request is to foster direct communication and extensive interaction between employees and managers. The design aims to create a homogeneous space where management and employee sections coexist harmoniously throughout. The use of diagonal lines and a spiral staircase design creates a visually dynamic environment. Open office spaces are scattered like islands, arranged based on functional connections rather than repetitive patterns. This design visually and physically embodies the client›s desire for a space that encourages collaboration and teamwork. Overall, the design seeks to capture the spirit of the platform as a transformative force that supports startups and encourages exploration. The spiral paths represent the platform›s adventurous nature, while the scattered islands symbolize the diverse work areas supported by the platform. The design reflects the platform›s commitment to transforming dreams into reality and creating a bright future for its teams.
