ORPIC SOHAR
Orpic, a joint venture of two oil companies, recognized the need for a modern, functional, and safe work environment that promotes knowledge exchange and supports the well- being of its employees. To achieve this goal, they engaged VMX Architects to design a masterplan that reflects the company’s values and modernity.
VMX Architects’ masterplan emphasizes non-hierarchical connections between people and incorporates green spaces to promote well-being and health. The design incorporates modern amenities and safety features to provide a comfortable and secure working environment. The result is a modern and dynamic workplace that fosters collaboration and creativity while providing a healthy and sustainable environment for employees. Orpic’s new work environment serves as an example of how a thoughtful and intelligent approach to workplace design can improve the quality of life for employees while reflecting the values and vision of the company.
