ThermaCity Residences
Afyonkarahisar / Türkiye ,  2018

ThermaCity Residences are designed as Afyon's first large-scale and multi-use residential project located on the ridge of Demirçevre village of Afyon. ThermaCity Residences, taking to the center of the sustainability of Afyon's historical, cultural and local economic values, will be the first large-scale project of the region that contributes to the local values of the region with its proposed rich indoor and outdoor uses, the use of "thermal water" in social facilities and public spaces of different qualities. 

The project, which is planned to work as a catalyst for the city with its rich program, is supported by public spaces designed in multiple and different scales with a total of 5 high blocks and a residential program resolved in 56 villages. The design principle and architectural language of the rggA are based on two important principles: the continuity between low and high-rise residential blocks and the integration of social spaces with a streamlined scheme. 5 high blocks were placed on the relatively flat part of the site and these blocks were supported by spaces as defined spaces, fluid, balanced in scale as well as strengthening neighborhood relations by suggesting sufficient sizes for public spaces and green areas as close to each other as possible
