Golden A' Design Award Winner 2021
The spatial configuration of ELTO Consultancy's GTR and Teleport Office operates as a comprehensive symbolic system encoding themes of velocity, aspiration, and transcendence through carefully orchestrated material and chromatic choices. The dominant orange chromatic field carries traditional associations with energy, enthusiasm, creativity, and warmth across numerous cultural frameworks, while simultaneously evoking the specific iconography of high-performance vehicles and cautionary signaling, suggesting both excitement and controlled intensity. The circular turbine portals embedded within this orange field function as archetypal threshold symbols, suggesting passage, transformation, and the liminal space between states of being, their spiral internal geometry encoding concepts of dynamic movement, centrifugal force, and the conversion of energy into forward momentum. The runway-like floor markings transform the horizontal plane into a symbolic trajectory, encoding narratives of departure, journey, and destination while positioning occupants as participants in ongoing forward movement rather than static inhabitants. The suspended sculptural elements, with their avian and aeronautical formal vocabularies, invoke archetypal symbols of flight, freedom, and elevation of consciousness, their placement overhead suggesting aspiration and the lifting of perspective beyond earthbound concerns. The material dialogue between warm organic surfaces and cool industrial finishes encodes a synthesis of human comfort and technological capability, suggesting that mechanical precision serves rather than supplants human flourishing. The one-point perspective geometry, with its convergence toward infinity, embeds concepts of vision, focus, and purposeful directionality into the spatial experience, while the warm seating alcoves provide symbolic shelter and gathering spaces along the journey, encoding values of collaboration and pause within the larger narrative of forward movement.
The co-working space for GTR and Teleport is located at an old airport terminal. ELTO designer fulfills the young generation's needs for a workspace that is interesting and imaginative, by creating an efficient environment that is productive and stress free. ELTO design team presents it well with the aviation spirit, with consideration to inspire people to find joy at work. The airplane turbines, the wings and the runway making every corner a memorable spot to reminisce the history of this venue as an old airport terminal.
