Crystal Mind | Tech Workspace Design

Description:

Crystal Mind is a technology company office located in Canan Capital Katameya, New Cairo, Egypt. The project occupies the 10th floor of an existing administrative building, with a total area of 1187 sqm, designed to accommodate 100 employees.

The design process began with a comprehensive site analysis, including identifying noise sources, studying wind directions, and evaluating natural daylight using DesignBuilder. The results were essential in guiding the space planning phase and optimizing the distribution of functions within the space.

During space planning, I focused on going beyond the client’s initial requirements, recognizing that clients often highlight primary spaces while overlooking essential service areas that support overall functionality.

One of the main challenges was dealing with structural constraints such as columns and HVAC ducts, while ensuring efficient spatial relationships and clear circulation paths, including properly planned escape routes.

The design concept was developed through analyzing the company’s identity and logo, extracting key design keywords that informed the color palette, design language, and material selection, creating a cohesive and modern workspace aligned with the brand.

The project was developed using AutoCAD, 3ds Max, Photoshop, and Canva.
