Hybrid Executive Office in Istanbul Recognized for Spatial Innovation and Refined Material Use

COMO, CO, ITALY, July 3, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The A' Design Award has announced S.A.I.T. Studio as a Silver winner in the Interior Space and Exhibition Design category for the project titled Cu 29. The A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award is one of the highly respected recognitions within the international design community, acknowledging works that demonstrate excellence in spatial planning, material selection and functional design. Cu 29 is an executive office designed to support business meetings while also accommodating temporary residential use. The selection of Cu 29 for this honor reflects the considered craftsmanship and thoughtful spatial strategy behind the project. This recognition positions the work among notable contributions to contemporary interior design practice.

The Silver A' Design Award holds relevance for the interior design industry by highlighting projects that respond to evolving needs for flexible, multifunctional environments. Cu 29 addresses the contemporary demand for spaces that blend professional function with residential comfort, reflecting a growing trend toward hybrid interiors. The project aligns with industry practices that emphasize user-centered design, careful material transitions and integrated technology. For clients and stakeholders, the design demonstrates how careful planning can balance privacy, work efficiency and comfort within a compact footprint. Such recognition offers practical insight for professionals and users seeking adaptable spatial solutions.

Cu 29 transforms a 120 square meter space into an environment that functions as both an executive office and a private suite. Concealed doors preserve the perception of a formal workspace while discreetly connecting residential areas. Dark matte surfaces emphasize copper elements that reference the client's involvement in the copper trade, a theme echoed in the project name through copper's symbol and atomic number. Mirrors positioned on wall surfaces and behind the bar distribute the panoramic Istanbul view across the interior, while a handmade mosaic wall in the guest restroom is reflected to visually expand the space. Custom furniture, natural marble, laminated parquet flooring, solid copper transition profiles and a smart automation system controlling lighting, motorized curtains and air purification complete the spatial composition.

The Silver A' Design Award recognition serves as encouragement for S.A.I.T. Studio to continue exploring hybrid spatial typologies and research driven design approaches. The honor may inform future projects that integrate flexible layouts, refined materials and smart technologies. By demonstrating how compact spaces can serve multiple functions without compromising identity, the project contributes to ongoing dialogue within the interior design field. This achievement reinforces the studio's commitment to delivering spaces that balance aesthetics, functionality and long term spatial quality.
