Portum Towers Lobby

Architecture study

Two towers, each with its own entrance lobby, form the foundation of the interior design concept for Portum Towers. The entrance spaces, which include the reception area and communication zones, are designed with a focus on color symbolism and modern aesthetics. One tower boasts an emerald hue, while the other shines in copper. These colors are reflected not only in the exterior but also dominate the interior lighting.

Each tower’s lobby features a striking illuminated element above the reception desk, visible from outside. A majestic chandelier, composed of thousands of fluorescently colored tubes creating a light coral effect, draws attention with its glow in emerald or bronze, matching the respective tower’s color scheme and enhancing the chosen palette. The lobby is further accentuated by two prominent columns that complete the reception area. One column is clad in a mirror matching the color of the lighting, while the other is covered in corrugated metal, creating an intriguing visual effect reminiscent of water.

The reception desk, with its fluid, wave-like shapes, adds a sense of movement and dynamism to the space. Visitors are enveloped not only by this atmosphere but also by reflections from black mirrors and undulating metal surfaces.

The floor is made of elegant dark marble, contrasting with white marble walls and a bright ceiling, creating a visually striking gradient. Behind the reception, a wall of light marble features a three-dimensional effect, with some surfaces protruding and others recessed, all backlit to emphasize its depth.

The central area in front of the reception also features a highly polished steel sculpture in the shape of a wing, adding a unique touch to the space. The entrance lobby is further complemented by a larger lounge area with designer Tulip chairs and a large oval sofa that can be arranged in various configurations. The space is also equipped with a fireplace, contributing to a cozy atmosphere.

The lobby also includes a conference area that spans the ground floor and the second level. Privacy is ensured by the use of shading slats, allowing visitors to see into the lobby while still maintaining a sense of seclusion. A second lounge area, designed to be more private, is furnished with additional chairs.

The entire space is luxurious and elegant, with subtle details that collectively create a unique atmosphere, reflecting the distinctive character of both buildings. This concept not only enhances the aesthetics of the space but also brings it to life, giving it a singular identity.

Portum Towers merges elegance and modernity in two distinct realms. The emerald and copper towers welcome visitors into impressive lobbies where dazzling chandelier elements and sophisticated marble design create an unforgettable atmosphere. Every detail is meticulously crafted to highlight the exceptional character of the entire space.
