Project
About Akfen İnşaat Merter Office Building
Located in Merter, this 35,000 m² office building for Akfen İnşaat was delivered with our engineering services.
Office buildings need structure and services infrastructure flexible enough for tenant needs that change over time. HVAC for open-plan offices, data infrastructure and energy efficiency are the key topics of this project.
Akfen İnşaat Merter Office Building is one of the reference projects in Sönmez Mühendislik's residential and commercial buildings portfolio. Since 1995, Sönmez Mühendislik has provided structural, electrical, mechanical and infrastructure engineering with BIM coordination for projects in Türkiye and abroad.
Approach
Engineering for office and commercial buildings
Office, showroom and mixed-use buildings need long spans, flexible floor plates and high services capacity, so the structure and mechanical and electrical infrastructure are designed together.
- Long-span structure and seismic design
- Flexible HVAC for open-plan and tenant areas
- Power, lighting and data infrastructure
- Fire protection and building automation
Engineering
Key engineering topics for this type of project
Commercial buildings must stay attractive to changing tenants over many years. Flexible structure, efficient HVAC and reliable power and data infrastructure protect the value of the building.
- 01
Flexible structure
Column-free spaces and suitable floor loads support different layouts and uses.
- 02
Efficient HVAC
Systems are selected for open-plan offices, display areas and variable occupancy.
- 03
Power and data
Raised floors or ceiling routes carry power and data to every workstation.
- 04
Building automation
Lighting, HVAC and metering are monitored to keep operating costs low.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Which HVAC systems suit office buildings?
VRF, fan-coil and air-handling systems are compared according to floor plate, tenant model and operating costs.
Why do showrooms need special lighting design?
Products must be displayed accurately; lighting levels, colour rendering and glare control are designed specifically.
What changes in mixed-use projects abroad?
Local codes, climate, material supply and grid reliability shape the mechanical and electrical design.
