Istanbul-based practice, KONTRA have recently revealed their latest project of refurbishing an old atelier into a sophisticating industriall look Youth Republic office. Within an area of 1,300 square meters, the space is a contemporary loft for a yout agency with 9 departments.

The industrial style comes into view as one entered via entrance which has 6 meters high ceiling and gray rusty metal plates. On them, the philosophy of the company is laid out. This mature masculine appearance emphasises the strength of the young team inside.

“Stay Young!” is the jargon wants to be introduced via the lively and colorful space screams which is an ideal environment to encourage creativity, concentration and relaxation. One thing that draws attention, is the nuclear reactor shaped meeting point right in the middle of the open office. It includes a heritage table – a witness of the creative mind of this young agency since its foundation. This space is the heart of the Youth Republic and is ussed for brainstorming.

The entire space is designed as an open office. It makes anyone feel the spirit of a university campus with its colorful lockers. Here, employees will be able to store their goods. Furthermore there are urgent meeting points where the team will be able to jot down their ideas on blackboards.

The canteen is the point of discharge for the employees during a busy day of brainstorming. Fun images on the walls and colorful flourescent lights on the ceiling maintain the young energy of the office. The yellow striped walls are calling on the employees to “take a break”. The same raw materials are used here as well; OSB walls and 40x40mm metal profile table legs.

Almost all parts; meeting rooms, training room, even managers’ rooms are designed as a semi-open space. The glass seperation units with graphics support the energy circulation between the managers and the team.
