Office, Residence, Shopping Mall
Ankara / Turkey, 2012
The settlement area is located on a region that can be described as the new trade center of Ankara. Situated on both right and left sides of the Muhsin Yazıcıoğlu Street connected to the axis of the Eskişehir Road which interconnects the emergent luxury housing areas and trade centers with the city center, the building blocks can be considered as the junction point of both residential and commercial buildings. Thanks to the recently opened cafes, restaurants etc.
The Muhsin Yazıcıoğlu Street has turned into a lively street with heavy pedestrian traffic. Taking into account the requirements of the region, the project approach has been determined in a way to create such concepts as walkable city, urban park, town square etc. Aiming to create thematic town squares through consecutive pedestrian axes that connect the blocks and through the use of different courtyard concepts that could attract people, the project incorporates two high-rise buildings, one for office and one for residential use.
