Reflections Studios

Welcome to Project Reflections, a cutting-edge broadcasting and studio complex located within the Debutsat building in Basaksehir, Istanbul. This multi-level project houses a diverse range of media entities, including Al Jazeera, Al Arabiya, TRT, TV99, Qaf, and Al-Hawar.

The interior design of this project is truly one-of-a-kind, spanning two floors and featuring a captivating atrium. The atrium is adorned with colorful parametric surfaces, creating an eye-catching focal point. It is complemented by an open audience seating area, separated by an awe-inspiring parametric column formation. The entire space is enhanced by carefully integrated lighting that leaves visitors in awe, perfectly encapsulating the project’s name, “Reflections.”

Project Reflections includes state-of-the-art recording studios, sound and graphics rooms, open training spaces, and dedicated areas for management, production, marketing, and editing.

The project presented two significant challenges:

1. Multi-Functional Spaces: The design needed to allow all spaces to transform into recording studios as needed, regardless of their original function. For instance, the guest room was designed for visitor comfort but features design elements that easily convert it into a recording studio when required. The hallways were also carefully designed to serve as pleasant shooting corners.
2. Highly Technical Live Broadcasting: To meet the demanding technical requirements of live broadcasting, the project required the ability to seamlessly switch feeds within ten seconds in case of any on-air issues. This involved intricate design considerations for technical rooms, digital storage, and advanced internet connectivity directly from the telecommunications network headquarters.
