Offices in Syngrou Avenue

Diagonal markings

The office space, spanning 1,100 m², is located on the 7th floor of a newly built landmark on Syngrou Avenue. The narrow and elongated floor plan, combined with the intricately shaped main façade, served as the foundation for the architectural design. This layout accommodates closed offices, meeting rooms, and an open, free-flow zone, all tailored to meet the needs of over 100 employees, creating a modern and functional work environment.

Design Philosophy

From the early stages of the design, the goal was to break away from the uniformity and standardization often found in workplaces, while ensuring a comfortable environment through visual and acoustic comfort, privacy, and the use of natural light. To achieve this, the layout was designed perpendicular to the sloping main façade, tilting the floor plan to avoid non-functional areas within the enclosed offices and create an engaging complexity in the open space.

This diagonal layout formed the primary compositional axis, around which the administration area, with its large conference room, was positioned on one side, while the other side housed office rooms, two smaller meeting rooms, and the open space. The new axis is also reflected in the ceiling design and lighting, where the closed sections integrate with exposed electrical installations, designed as part of the overall composition. A hanging rail, which also follows the axis, is distinguished by its color and functions as the general lighting system.

Spatial Organization

The conference rooms, centrally located within the floor plan and adjacent to the reception area, are designed as transparent volumes that allow ample natural light. These rooms can be enclosed with electrically operated sound-absorbing curtains, ensuring both acoustic comfort and privacy. The administration offices are positioned in the most visually isolated section of the floor plan, while the other enclosed offices are placed along the perimeter facades, functioning as free-standing “boxes within a box.” This layout promotes the diffusion of workstations across the offices, creating “individual spatial experiences within the larger space.”

Materials & Sustainability

The interior architectural design encompassed the complete layout of both open and closed offices, coordination of other studies such as electrical, mechanical, and lighting, as well as the full design of the fixed furniture and selection of movable equipment. In alignment with the company’s philosophy and the LEED standard, the majority of materials used are certified recycled products that are fully recyclable, minimizing the energy footprint and setting a new design direction focused on sustainability.
