In the Kale Endüstri Holding Headquarters project, we approached Artstone products as an architectural tool that reinforces a sense of naturalness, warmth, and timelessness within a corporate office environment. Particularly in working and circulation areas, we were in search of surface solutions that would soften the rigid and technical atmosphere typically associated with office spaces, while also establishing a strong spatial identity. In this context, the natural wood effect, layered texture, and organic character of the Artstone Mayon Series became an integral part of both the design concept and the spatial narrative.

When combined with wooden textures and green surfaces, these elements create a welcoming atmosphere that introduces a sense of nature and warmth throughout the space.

The primary reasons for choosing Artstone in the material selection process included its high surface quality, its ability to deliver a consistent and controllable result despite its natural appearance, its flexibility during application, and the continuity it provides across large surfaces. During implementation, its compatibility with detailed design solutions and the efficiency it brought to the construction process proved to be significant advantages. Following the completion of the project, both users and the client provided highly positive feedback regarding the warmth, natural character, and sense of prestige that Artstone surfaces contributed to the space. In this respect, Artstone was not merely a cladding material, but a defining architectural component that shaped the identity of the interior.
