Of the various architectural typologies, office space design is the most prone to deviations in terms of sensibility and sensitivity. Premeditated with a lack of emotional attachment in the first place, it is calibrated with a certain formality in language and further strained by the pressures of productivity. As a result, office spaces prefer to be mute enclosures and seldom attempt to connect with or respond to its users or the activities it envelopes.

In a scenario as this, illustrating an unrelenting intent in architectural ideology, the Pupu Teknik office, by Ipek Baycan Architects delivers a sophisticated expression with exemplary functionality.

Pupa Teknik is a two stories office space located on the top floor on a duplex flat in the corner of the building. Regarding their working style; the partners needed separate rooms of their own leaving the common space of the office in the core of the project. Architects have planed the layout for opening the perspectives by aligning the office rooms in the facades of the building. In order to have direct sunlight for the circulation axis glass facades along the corridor has been installed.
