Turman Romano designed the CyCognito offices with ample space for focused work and natural light in Tel Aviv, Israel. CyCognito, a growing Cyber Security company, has reached out to Turman Romano as it was expanding rapidly and needed space to grow into. They leased another floor in the same office building the company is already based, and asked the designers to create a fresh design.
The new offices, located on the top floor of the building, includes a massive roof-top terrace, and abundance of natural light. However, the Company’s program required multiple offices and conference rooms, which threatened to obstruct natural light from coming into the offices.
To comply with CyCognito’s needs, the designers used the small conference rooms as transparent sculptures, swirled in mesh nettings and plantation. The movement in space circles the sculptured rooms and creates a layered space that feels open and flowing.
The Kitchen was planned as the focal point of the office and a connecting link to the outside. Placed alongside the rooftop terrace, it serves the company for assemblies and events, held in the open air.
The entire public space is lined with lounging areas, custom designed to create a wholesome space that flows naturally from the inside to the out. The changing floors create an illusion that the different spaces are expanding into each other, borders are blurred and the result is a feeling of a large lightened space, full of interest.
