Located on the 18th floor of Süzer Plaza in Istanbul, the 220-square-meter Empera Istanbul Office was meticulously designed and built in 2023 by Yalın Tan + Partners. Empera has established itself as a distinguished brand through years of carpet production in the Gaziantep region, supplying its products across Turkey and worldwide. Bringing together this rich heritage and forward-thinking vision, Empera is now set to make an impactful presence with its Istanbul office.

At Yalın Tan + Partners, our design approach for the Empera Istanbul Office aimed to seamlessly integrate sustainability and functionality. This carefully crafted design strategy goes beyond creating a mere workspace—it is designed to enhance employee productivity, promote eco-conscious solutions, and elevate overall quality of life. In this context, we framed the design process around a fusion of the brand’s traditional roots and its contemporary outlook, which is further reflected in the choice of colors and materials.

Spanning 220 square meters, the Empera Istanbul Office offers much more than just a compact workspace; it is designed to deliver a rich and immersive experience. The office layout embraces a modern work culture by incorporating flexible, hybrid-friendly workspaces that cater to the diverse needs of employees.

The carefully curated furniture selection ensures ergonomic comfort while maintaining a "curated eclectic" aesthetic, blending traditional and modern elements throughout the space. The varying floor materials strategically define circulation paths, emphasizing the project's rich material palette while enhancing visual diversity.

In conclusion, Yalın Tan + Partners has successfully merged functionality with aesthetics in the design of the Empera Istanbul Office, creating a workspace that reflects the brand’s deep-rooted legacy and future-oriented vision. More than just an office, this space fosters a strong sense of community and belonging, providing employees with the resources and support needed for both professional and personal success.
