PELSAN Textile Office by mimaristudio

A Headquarters Designed for Innovation and Well-being

The PELSAN Textile Office, designed by mimaristudio, serves as the new headquarters for Pelsan Tekstil, a member of the Hassan Group, renowned as Türkiye’s first and only producer of breathable polyethylene film. Located in Tekirdağ, the 5,000 m² office is envisioned not just as a workplace, but as a flexible, inspiring, and human-centered environmentthat supports both productivity and creativity.

The design reflects the company’s innovative, technological, and dynamic spirit, prioritizing flexibility, transparency, and collaboration. By merging architectural aesthetics with employee well-being, mimaristudio has created a contemporary office space that encourages communication, interaction, and social engagement.

A Workplace Beyond Function: Living, Sharing, and Learning

At its core, the project is more than just an administrative headquarters. It was conceived as a shared workspace and development hub where employees can socialize, learn, and collaborate. The design ensures a balance between private focus areas and open, collaborative zones, giving employees freedom in how, where, and when they work.

The office integrates short break zones, flexible meeting areas, and informal social spaces, encouraging spontaneous interactions. This flexibility reflects the changing dynamics of work culture, particularly in the wake of the post-pandemic shift towards adaptable work environments.

Architectural Design: Fluidity, Transparency, and Nature

The architecture emphasizes openness and connection. The façade, designed with semi-transparent surfaces and carefully placed openings, allows continuous visual interaction between inside and outside. It creates a sense of permeability while offering access to natural light and controlled greenery that grows over time, integrating biophilic design principles.

Terrace floors at multiple levels offer open-air spaces for work and relaxation, blending functionality with well-being. These outdoor extensions enable employees to experience fresh air while maintaining their connection to the workspace.

The design incorporates 14 biophilic routes, categorized into principles like Nature in Space, Natural Reminders, and Nature of Space, reinforcing sustainability and employee wellness.

Interiors: Functionality Meets Creativity

Inside, mimaristudio designed versatile layouts that adapt to different modes of work. Collaborative workstations, consultation zones, and individual work pods are interspersed with social lounges and creative hubs. Circulation areas double as meeting spots, fostering informal communication between departments.

Acoustic comfort is a key priority. Feltouch’s "Make-up" acoustic ceiling and wall systems, alongside the "Ra" acoustic lighting family—used for the first time in this project—minimize sound transmission and enhance workplace comfort.

Lighting design combines technical efficiency with handcrafted artistry. While linear and punctual systems handle general illumination, bespoke decorative pieces such as “Sade” lighting, designed by Ayça Akkaya Kul and handcrafted by Maiizen using a double-walled inflating technique, add unique character to the interiors.

Sustainability and Well-being as Core Values

Sustainability underpins the entire design philosophy. From environmentally friendly material selection to biophilic landscaping, the project emphasizes eco-conscious design. By offering access to natural light, fresh air, greenery, and diverse working conditions, the PELSAN Textile Office nurtures a healthy balance between technology-driven work and human well-being.

This holistic approach ensures that employees feel not just accommodated but inspired—transforming the office into a living ecosystem of productivity, innovation, and community.
