The Marsh McLennan Istanbul Office, realised in Istanbul in 2025 by UDesign Architecture, has been honoured by the iF Design Award, one of the most prestigious platforms in the international design world.
The project, awarded in the “Ultra-premium Office Design” category, attracted global attention by achieving high scores in spatial quality, user experience, sustainability and functional performance.
Within this award-winning office environment, TRIMline systems played a key role through the integration of glass partition systems, operable wall solutions and acoustic pods.
Hybrid Office Design and Acoustically Focused Spatial Planning
The modern office space, covering approximately 2,330 m², was designed to support a hybrid working model. Open-plan areas, meeting rooms, quiet focus zones and flexible usage scenarios were brought together through a transparent planning approach that maximises the use of daylight.
Key criteria shaping the project included:
- Flexible planning compatible with hybrid working models
- Enhanced acoustic performance in open-plan office areas
- Glass partition systems allowing uninterrupted daylight penetration
- Durable and sustainable material choices
- Interior design details enhancing user comfort
- A balanced distribution of open, semi-open and enclosed spaces
Through this balanced spatial configuration, both individual concentration and team interaction are supported, while noise control and acoustic insulation are technically optimised.
Office Performance with Glass Partition Walls and Operable Wall Systems
The TRIMline glass partition systems used in the project were integrated to preserve architectural transparency while meeting high acoustic performance expectations.
Snap Frameless Glass Partition Systems
The frameless glass partition wall system provides visual continuity between spaces. Daylight penetrates deep into the office interior while sound transmission within open-plan areas is carefully controlled.
This system positions itself as a solution that delivers both aesthetic coherence and technical performance in modern office design.
Operable Solid Wall Systems
Operable partition wall systems used in meeting rooms and multi-purpose areas allow spaces to be rapidly reconfigured according to changing needs.
Thanks to high acoustic insulation performance, acoustic comfort is maintained even when spaces are reconfigured. This flexibility supports the dynamic spatial requirements of hybrid working environments.
Solid Door and Bonded Glass Door Systems
Solid door systems used in executive offices and meeting rooms provide secure separation in spaces requiring privacy.
Bonded glass door systems combine transparency with corporate coherence, contributing to a consistent architectural language throughout the office design.
Full-Height WC Cubicle Systems
With their durable structure designed for intensive use and hygienic surface properties, full-height WC cubicle systems became one of the complementary elements reinforcing the project’s premium-segment approach.
Acoustic Solution in the Open Office: SENSbox Acoustic Pod Integration
One of the most critical issues in open-plan offices is noise control. To address this need, SENS SENSbox acoustic pod solutions were integrated into the project, enhancing working comfort through high sound-absorption performance despite their compact dimensions.
With an approximate footprint of 1.6 m², the acoustic pod units:
- Provide isolated spaces for phone and video calls
- Minimise reverberation through sound-absorbing interior panels
- Contribute to balancing noise levels within the open-plan office
This integration directly contributed to evaluation criteria of the iF Design Award, particularly user comfort and functional innovation.
Award-Winning Office Solutions with TRIMline
The Marsh McLennan Istanbul Office project has become an internationally recognised reference through its hybrid-working-oriented planning, acoustically enhanced open-office configuration and flexible spatial organisation.
TRIMline glass partition systems, operable wall solutions and acoustic pod integration form the hidden performance infrastructure behind the architectural design, supporting the technical foundation of this achievement.
The project stands as a strong reference for investors and design professionals seeking modern office design, glass partition wall systems and acoustic office solutions in Istanbul.
