Temporary & Experiential Projects

The Turkish laboratory shaped like a tree

Iglo Architects has undertaken the design and implementation works of Ankara based, Düzen Laboratories’ office

by Hannah Holt 15 June 2022

Maintaining the high level of service quality currently provided in the project was the architect’s primary concern.

The project totals 200 sq m with two floors of 100 sq m each, and receives natural light from a 6 m single facade.

It features a spacious lobby and reception area, a doctors’ lounge, three bloodletting rooms, a catering area, a nurses’ lounge, three guest restrooms, one of which is an accessible toilet, a spermiogram room with the comfort of hotel rooms, a dressing and recreation room for personnel, and a 55 sq m laboratory area.

The project has been designed with a tree structure, which enables access to every functionality through a single corridor. The reception and registration bench is located in the recess of the building’s elevator pit, which allows enough space for a large waiting room and a recreation room for children. 

The doctors’ lounge is a transparent space located in the middle of the building. As a result, the doctors can control all the units and natural light can illuminate any back spaces. The rest of the entrance floor is allocated to the bloodletting rooms and the restrooms. These spaces include private chambers for nurses to take samples.

4000K daylight LED lighting is used in each room, and every wall is covered with storage furniture from the floor to the ceiling. Hi-Gloss white laminate is chosen for surfacing to improve lighting as well as to better radiate the feeling of hygiene. Exposed concrete patterned porcelain ceramic in 60x60 cm is applied to the entire floor, walls and partitions of wet spaces. The industrial look is given by the use of anthracite-colored decorative ventilation ducts and the mechanical parts as well as painting the ceiling and the upper side of the walls above 280 cm level with the same colour.
