About the Project
The Tel Ad office project rethinks the contemporary workspace by inserting autonomous architectural volumes into an existing structure with limited access to natural light.
At the center of the project, an artificially lit patio with lush natural vegetation becomes the spatial and atmospheric core around which circulation and workspaces are organized.
The project integrates custom-designed elements including a parametric concrete facade, bespoke concrete tiles, and 3D-printed lighting fixtures developed specifically for the space. Through the integration of nature, material experimentation, and advanced fabrication, Tel Ad creates a layered workplace focused on atmosphere, well-being, and spatial experience.
Systemic Composition
The Tel Ad project reimagines the office typology by embedding architectural volumes within volumes.
Situated in a renovated structure with limited natural light, the design introduces a central artificial patio, redefines circulation, and uses material contrast to articulate space and function.
Planted Void
At the core of the plan is a planted void — an artificial patio that becomes both a spatial and atmospheric anchor.
Since the building's depth prevents consistent access to daylight, the patio is illuminated with full-spectrum agronomical lighting, ensuring the growth of lush vegetation throughout the year.
Volumetric Structure
The offices are conceived as autonomous cubes — each 3 metres high and detached from the 5-metre ceiling.
This deliberate gap creates a striking volumetric condition: the feeling that each office floats within a larger architectural envelope. The cubes are clad in brushed stainless steel, which catches and reflects ambient light.
The kitchen is another key node in the spatial logic of Tel Ad. A previously sealed balcony was reopened, allowing daylight to enter from the exterior into both the kitchen and an adjacent data center staircase. This intervention introduces light into otherwise closed-off areas, reinforcing the project's commitment to daylight access.
A custom 3D-printed lighting fixture, fabricated by YET Fab, hangs above the kitchen island. Its form is derived from organic geometries and adds a sculptural, experimental layer to the otherwise industrial space.
Power Wall
A continuous wall envelopes the building's core, visually uniting the office spaces along its length.
This wall is clad in custom-developed tiles produced specifically for the project, adding texture, rhythm, and material depth. Together with terrazzo floors, rotating concrete facade blocks, stainless steel cladding, and extensive interior woodwork, the material palette operates as a carefully balanced system — each element defining a role in structure, surface, or sensation.
Circulation
The circulation was redefined as a loop around this green core, offering constant visual connection to greenery.
Enabling an intuitive, fluid movement between workspaces, a consistent rhythm of terrazzo flooring, stainless steel accents, and natural wood finishes ties the entire project together.
