Kom Architects, planned and designed by Yaki Kom, reflect a contemporary, precise and flexible work environment, where materiality, acoustics and aesthetics work together to create a pleasant, functional and inspiring workspace. The design emphasizes open space alongside focused work areas, while combining ceiling and cladding solutions that provide a response to both practical needs and a clear design statement.
In the central workspace and in the offices, a Linear Grid (LG) ceiling manufactured by Hecht & Efraim was chosen – an open ceiling that produces a uniform and precise rhythm of lines and emphasizes the architectural character of the space. The grid beams, in varying sizes, allow control over the density and appearance of the ceiling, and create a sense of depth and airiness while maintaining full accessibility to the systems. The choice of an open ceiling contributes to both a sense of space and planning flexibility over time.
On a central wall in the workspace, a deep blue GROOVE cladding from ECOPET was incorporated, a grooved polyester (PET) cladding that combines acoustics with design. The grooves create a rich linear texture that adds depth and movement to the space, while significantly improving the acoustic environment (up to NRC 0.8). The material, based on recycled PET fibers, is safe to use, does not accumulate dust mites and is durable over time – an ideal solution for intensive workspaces.
In the conference room and in Yaki Com’s office, the Frontier ceiling from AUTEX was chosen – a system of linear acoustic fins that create a clean and precise geometric appearance. The vertical elements contribute to focused sound absorption (up to NRC 1.0), and improve the quality of conversation and work in closed spaces. Beyond performance, the ceiling gives these spaces a unique design presence, with an elegant and continuous line.
The combination of open ceilings, acoustic cladding and linear elements creates a uniform, modern and precise language, one that serves the character of the office and the way of working there.
