A Modern Apartment Emerges From the Meeting of the Two Separately Perceived Prisms: Gokturk 118
This Project was designed as two separated blocks located on adjacent plots with different regulations, merging to a corner. The two blocks with different heights 12.5 m and 15.50 m, has been unified regarding their facade clearances. Within the evolving facade of the Çamlık Street in the last 10 year, these blocks were injected with a cynic eccentricity to the existing pattern. The form emerges from the meeting of the two separately perceived prisms. The entrance of the blocks is from the Sedef Street perpendicular to the Çamlık Street and both blocks are connected from this entrance.
The blocks consist of 32 residential units with various sizes and commercial units facing the ÇamlıkStreet, in addition many common usage facilities are provided within the building. Making use of the level differences a courtyard and surrounding gardens are created.
