Small Apartment Building
Istanbul / Turkey, 2015

Project area is located in Sifa Neighborhood in Tuzla. Existing buildings are mostly built unauthorized in this low density district with attached buildings arrangement. Therefore, these buildings are constructed in an unplanned manner with the main concern being to meet the basic physical spatial needs of occupants rather than architectural ones. 

Considering the facts like the project being only a four storey height build-and-sell project, low residential costs of the neighborhood, 200sqm site area and building regulations, the design problem becomes even harder to solve. The answer to this design problem was given by holding the line of attached building arrangement with a metal frame and taking the building mass inwards to create differentiating voids at each floor. Wooden sun louvers shape the characteristics of the façade. It is planned to start construction in March 2017.
