The building, which bears the identity of the owner organisation, was designed with concern to make explicit for its users that industrial architecture not only produces the required spaces but also conveys an image of the daily life inside the production environment.
PROGRAMME
DEICO is an engineering company established in Ankara, working in sectors such of defence, aerospace and automotive. The company’s new facility is a building that includes both office and production areas, as well as social, technical and common areas.
It is a built environment that is caring as much about functionality as about architectural image. The building, which bears the identity of the owner organisation, aims to make its users explicit that industrial architecture not only needs the required spaces, but also the construction of the daily life inside the production environment.
DESIGN PRINCIPLES
Social Activity and Recreation Facilities:
DEICO has a team of young and dynamic employees. This in mind, the production of an environment equipped with flexible working areas and social activities is a must.
Spaces that Increase Interaction and Communication:
For a new facility with growth in target, it is important that future and current needs coincide. The facility that combines production and work areas, should be both interesting and initiating interaction and communication among employees.
Healthy and Spacious Working Spaces:
Creating a ‘healthy and spacious office’ environment with ventilation, lighting, acoustic comfort and material selection; creating a healthy and dynamic atmosphere throughout the facility is important.
Spaces Intertwined with Green:
All workspaces, including office and production, should open to outdoors, face the landscape and touch nature as much as possible.
Optimisation in Material Use:
Avoiding the use of high-cost materials (doors, plaster, paint, tiles, etc.) throughout the facility except in cases where they are functionally mandatory…
Environmentally Friendly Facility:
Planning it as an environmentally friendly, green facility considering innovative ideas related to renewable energy sources such as solar energy…
Common Use Areas:
Evaluation of innovative ideas for all kinds of collective spaces, and especially the requirements mentioned by the employer, to adopt the facility not only as a working environment but as a home and to increase the sense of belonging…
