DESIGN NAME: Visa TLV
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Office Space Interior Design
INSPIRATION: The environment was studied and taken into account. At the beginning of the project, the city, a special feature of the new innovation center became the main aspect in our inspiration, and we decided to take the magnificent 360 surrounding city view of Tel Aviv, and create an interpretation of the city's skyline and let it reflect into the office. We took the rhythm of the buildings outside the window, and brought them inside,transforming them into 3-dimensional,fluid,a-symmetrical partitions.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Shirli Zamir Design Studio designed the new VISA innovation center and offices located in Tel Aviv.
The office plan offers ample quiet work-areas, informal collaboration areas, and formal conference rooms. The space also consists of hot desks offered for young start-up companies.
The plan of the project also included an innovation center, a space which can be defined in accordance to the number of people, by a movable partition

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: There were two two special products developed for this project. 1. The 3d partition inspired by the skyline of Tel Aviv, was created after producing 7 difference silhouettes and 3 different depths of hollow oak. wood boxes creating an interpretation of the buildings. This partition was created in two different scales. First - small scaled, as a partition between spaces. Second - larger scale, as a 'curtain' between the meeting room and the workstations / hot desk. 2. The lights for the meeting rooms. We wanted something clean and modern yet unique and creating a warm atmosphere. We designed the thin-wood covered lighting for the meeting room.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Before starting the detailed planning stage, we visited the location. We studied the site and its surrounding and we noticed the magnificent skyline portraying through the windows. We were fascinated by this view on the 18th floor and the study of the rhythm of the buildings became our initial research. We studied the shapes, the shades, the volums and the music of the urban view.
CHALLENGE: The main challenge of this project was that the space given was relatively small space. We were asked that this space includes a multi-taction room, dining area, kitchen, hotdesk for Start-Ups, IT room, Storage room, phone booth, working area, and both formal and a-formal meeting rooms. With these functions, it was necessary that the space stays fluid, open and transparent. The entire challenge and all requests were achieved by precise planning and inclusion of the see-through 3d partitions.
