Do you have an office in İzmir?

Our base is in Ankara; we do not have a physical office in İzmir. Even so, we take on corporate office and workplace projects in İzmir, managing the process end to end through remote project management, scheduled site visits and coordination of the local installation team on site. You work with a single point of contact.

How does the office design process work without you being in İzmir?

The process advances through digital measurement, scheduled site visits, 3D modelling and a remote approval flow based on photorealistic visualisation. During implementation we work in coordination with the local team in Alsancak, Bayraklı, Gaziemir or Bornova, and we inspect the quality of design and execution.

Do you work on offices in the Gaziemir Aegean Free Zone or the port area?

Yes. We take on projects for export and logistics offices in the Aegean Free Zone in Gaziemir, administrative buildings for maritime and shipping companies around the Alsancak port, and corporate headquarters in the Bayraklı towers. We assess each district's floor-plan constraints, regulations and user profile separately.

How does İzmir's maritime climate and earthquake zone affect the design?

Both shape our core technical decisions. Against the salty humidity around the port we use corrosion-resistant materials and moisture-control detailing; because we are in a seismic belt, we resolve suspended ceilings, lighting and shelving systems with seismic fixing detailing. In Alsancak's historic buildings we make interventions that preserve the original fabric.

Do you design offices suited to hybrid working?

Yes. In our İzmir office projects we balance shared workstations, bookable desk areas, phone booths and video-conference-focused meeting rooms. We size the space not by headcount but by how teams work on a rotating basis.

İzmir Office Design

Ankara-based Kaya + Partners delivers corporate office, headquarters and workplace interior architecture projects in İzmir. We do not maintain a physical office in İzmir; instead, we run the entire process through remote project management, scheduled site visits and coordination with a local installation team. In a city dense with trade, logistics and export companies, we create interior solutions that translate corporate identity into space and are designed around hybrid working patterns. We work across İzmir's diverse business districts, from Alsancak's historic commercial core to the new-generation towers of Bayraklı, from the Gaziemir Free Zone to the technology-driven fabric of Bornova.

Office Design That Translates Corporate Identity Into Space in a City of Export and Trade

İzmir is Turkey's gateway to export; within this commercial culture, an office is the brand's first signature. In our İzmir office design work, we translate corporate identity into the language of colour, material, light and circulation; our aim is not to hang a logo but to make the company's character legible in the space itself. The headquarters of a foreign-trade firm and the administrative building of a logistics company do not speak the same language; we shape each line of business's spatial narrative with an interior architecture approach that understands the rhythm of the sector.

Administrative building interiors for logistics and port-area companies
Reception and welcome axis that reflects the brand
Presentation spaces suited to meetings with foreign buyers and partners
A design language that preserves departmental identity without breaking overall coherence

A Flexible Office Plan Built Around Hybrid Working

After the pandemic, İzmir's business world moved to a permanent hybrid model; the office is no longer a place where everyone sits at their desk every day, but a meeting hub teams visit on a rotating basis. In our İzmir office design projects, we reduce the number of fixed desks and distribute shared workstations, bookable desk areas and focus pods in balance. We size the space not by headcount but by how people actually work.

Shared (hot-desk) and bookable desk arrangement
Phone booths and individual focus units
Small meeting rooms geared to video conferencing
Flexible project areas teams use on a rotating basis
Informal meeting and coffee-break corners

A Space That Works With the Bay View, the Imbat Breeze and Natural Light

İzmir's strongest architectural assets are its bay view and the imbat breeze that blows in the afternoon; in office interiors we place these two elements at the centre of the design. In the Bayraklı towers and on the upper floors of Alsancak, we plan layouts that do not confine the view to the executive but carry it into open work areas too, and we design an airflow that runs natural ventilation and mechanical climate control together. We watch the balance between glare-preventing solar control and preserving the view.

Technical Decisions Sensitive to the Maritime Climate and Earthquake Zone

İzmir sits on both a humid maritime climate and an active seismic belt; these two facts directly shape the choice of materials and details. The salty humidity around the port and in Alsancak increases the risk of corrosion and moisture damage on metal fittings and timber surfaces; we manage this risk from the outset with moisture-resistant materials, the right surface coatings and ventilation detailing. In a city with heightened awareness after the 2020 earthquake, we resolve the fixing details of suspended ceilings, shelving and partition systems with structural safety in mind.

Proper coatings and ventilation detailing for moisture control
Seismic fixing for suspended ceilings, lighting and shelving systems
Interventions that preserve the original fabric in historic Alsancak buildings
Partition and storage detailing that respects structural safety

The Context of Alsancak, Bayraklı, Gaziemir, Bornova and the Port Area

In İzmir, an office does not fit a single typology; each district has its own user profile, floor-plan constraints and regulations. Alsancak's historic commercial blocks call for restoration and sensitivity to original fabric; Bayraklı's new-generation towers offer corporate floor plans and view optimisation; the Aegean Free Zone in Gaziemir carries the need for export and logistics offices; Bornova hosts the younger, more flexible spatial expectations of university and technology firms. We read each context separately and develop an İzmir workplace design solution accordingly.

Alsancak — corporate office in historic commercial blocks and the port area
Bayraklı — headquarters concept on new-generation tower floors
Gaziemir (Aegean Free Zone) — export and logistics administrative office
Bornova — flexible office for technology, R&D and the university milieu
Port area — administrative buildings for maritime and shipping companies

Remotely From Ankara, On Site in İzmir: How We Run the Process

Our base is in Ankara and we do not have a physical office in İzmir; we say this honestly, and we show through our process that it is not an obstacle but a planned way of working. After the brief, we begin with digital measurements and photographs, and run a remote approval flow through 3D modelling and photorealistic visualisation. At critical stages we make scheduled site visits; during implementation we work in coordination with our local installation team in İzmir and inspect design and production quality remotely. You work with a single point of contact and follow the project through one hand.

Remote approval via digital measurement, 3D modelling and photorealistic visuals
Scheduled site visits at the concept, implementation and handover stages
Coordinated site management with our local installation team in İzmir
Single point of contact: one-source responsibility from design to handover
Regular progress reports and remote quality inspection
