Spyke Games Offices – Istanbul
The youth and dynamism of Spyke Games comes through in the design of the video game developer's joyous and colorful office space in Istanbul.
Habif Architects designed a playful and creative space for the Spyke Games offices in Istanbul, Turkey.
It was our priority to reflect Spyke Games Company’s characteristic features such as being one of the youngest and most dynamic game developer companies based in Istanbul while designing their office.
We tried to reflect the joyous and colorful worlds of the game characters, especially in social spaces, meeting rooms, cafes and relaxing areas. We have adopted more neutral, functional and simple design approach in operational departments and working areas.
The design element, that we call “Broadway”, in which many different types of artificial lighting systems are used; emerged as the strongest design element connecting the game room, office entrance, amphitheater and cafeteria.
In addition, one of the highlight of the project; compressed paper rolls called “Masura”, which we used in their unprocessed form, takes a strong part in the office decoration.
The meeting room block designed as a mezzanine floor in the office, which we can say with an eclectic-pop design language in general; it houses both open and closed meeting and call rooms of different sizes.
The working area, with its height of up to 5 meters and its undivided single-volume structure, provides optimum working conditions and a feeling of spaciousness for game development work that requires long-term work and concentration.
