Karacabey Social Security Institution Building
Bursa / Turkey, 2014
Located in Karacabey district of Bursa province, the building has a square-shaped floor as required by the land structure and development conditions. Upon the complete overlapping of this geometry and the need program, it is designed to form a complete cube by arranging the structure axles and floor heights.
Modules of one-floor height manufactured by the facade systems are applied to all four fronts with 16 on each front. Black panels between the fixed and angled standing glass panels serve as pop-up wings. Thus, the office spaces, controlled entirely by mechanical systems, can receive fresh air in a controlled manner.
In the building where the discrepancy on its homogenous appearance created by the sunlight received from different directions can be experienced, the services with counter, 1st and 2dn floor offices, and 3rd floor which is actually the penthouse are used as dining room and library.
