‘Yemeksepeti Park’ is located in the centre of İstanbul on Büyükdere Street in Levent. It covers an area of 9,300 m² and serves as the Headquarter of Yemeksepeti.
Because the company provides services for 7/24, the continuous dynamic life style has formed the base for the main concept of the project. At the entrance people are welcomed with a five floor high gallery with five flying bridges. Bridges all have a unique name and theme color and they bind the floors with the sleeping rooms.

The sleeping rooms also follow the theme colors and names, and each have an area of 8m². They operate as self-refreshing areas in the building.

Each floor’s design was based on the different departments’ needs and as a whole the designs express the differences of these needs through use of colors, themes and ideas. The color schema of the floors were derived from the company’s logo. The colors start with a yellow tone and finish with a dark red tone. The cores include technical rooms, WC’s, and other storage rooms. Kitchenettes are located at the entrances of each floor seperated by semipermable fixtures.
