Hamyab 24 Company started its activities in tracking stolen mobile phones in 2016 in Neyshabur and today with more than a hundred employees is one of the most successful start-ups active in the whole country.
Considering the company’s field of activity, the employees’ stress levels were multiple times higher than normal which resulted in a decrease in efficiency. On the other hand, the nature of the activities of the company required that different sections have continuous interaction and multiple meetings during the day.
Therefore, project design foundations were based on two principles:
How to reduce stress among employees and increase efficiency?
How to establish interaction between all sections (management, support, content creation, programming, and accounting) and members on office time and breaks, in a way that the privacy of each section is protected?
In the beginning, we considered the whole set as a society which is made of different families (various sections) that in order to reach a mutual objective, need to have continuous activity and interaction, then we focused on meeting the individual needs: based on Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, individuals need to have safety, social connections, and belonging along with meeting the physiological needs to grow individuality and being effective more than before in the society and have the sense of self-satisfaction. Considering these factors in the small society of Hamyab 24 helped greatly in finding answers to our questions:
Therefore, to create a sense of security we had to use a collectively shared root, for example, childhood memories that sometimes are brought back by simply being in familiar spaces and places like a family house or a historic context. Using the Iranian house pattern with a central courtyard originates from here. Houses that while maintaining privacy, sometimes housed several families and hosted their interactions.
In this project, the central courtyard is the turning point, the heart of the building, and the unifying element of our spaces. A joint meeting room and all the other spaces are formed around the courtyard and different floors which in addition to creating connections and interactions on each floor, h formed a vertical connection in the project. Glass ceiling was used in the building to create a variety of light and shade during the day and a connection with the outside space. The southern breeze flows in the building thanks to the awning windows and we also used the yards and terraces for more interaction between the employees on different altitudinal levels. Bricks, cyan color (as Neyshabur’s symbol), and the arch as the entrance are some other features of this project. In fact, we were trying to design a workplace but for living; a safe place committed to the diminished past architecture accompanied with modern patterns in the simplest way possible far away from any complications, a memorable and genuine space where the work and life of several families happen. This project is an effort to take the buildings out of the customary office forms and change them into a place where peace and a sense of belonging are a priority.
