MobiNil
Corporate Headquarters
Cairo, Egypt
MobiNil, Egypt's primary mobile telecommunications provider, commissioned H2L2/WASSEF to design their new Corporate Headquarters within a new corporate development located in Cairo. The primary objective of the design was to modernize MobiNil's corporate image and operations.
The new offices are located on seven floors: four contiguous floors located on the top floors of an office tower, and three floors located within the base of the building. Specific focus was given to the second floor, which consisted of 130,000 square feet, with few windows or distinguishing architectural features.
The design approach for the second floor was to create an interior corridor that would organize the space for employees and visitors, as well as provide an architectural focus and treatment. Materials, lighting and other amenities were developed that would visually link the department and shared facilities, including an employee lunchroom, conference center and training facilities. To compensate for the limited number of windows, interior views and treatments were developed that would give the impression of openness and light, augmented by the use of interior lighting and planted areas throughout the floor.
Treatments and concepts developed for this floor were then adapted for other floors and functions, including the main entrance, a sales area, and executive areas, so that the entire office space is cohesively designed.
