● The location of the design has a strong potential to be able to provide a
nice city view to the users. Therefore, 360 degree city view is provided in
the houses. In different directions, diverse scenic houses include diverse
units that can address different lifestyles.
● The settlement consists of two main parts
● Commercial uses are sub mass and rising floors have residences .
● The residential tower is also spatially integrated into park and at the same
time ,it forms a nice opening with the square .
● Since the complex is placed in the center of the Ankara ,it has several
transportation opportunities which increase the accessibility of the site.
● By the design of inner courtyard the idea of social life area is achieved
● In terms of urban scale ,it was considered as a public space that enriched
social activity network on the street and its surroundings with new
cultural activities .
Site plan
PLANNING
● First ,the surrounding roads ,uses,axis,street level data were evaluated .
● The presence of yildiz crossroads ,turan gunes boulevard ,dikmen valley create
pedestrian circulation and keep the site location alive .
● Therefore pedestrian flows were taken into account to propose a floor layout scheme
● The level difference in the site is used like two distinct floors.
● These two functions and levels are in an order and compatible with each other .
● In addition to these ,historical squares ,bazaars continue to reflect daily life vitality of the
city .

VERTICAL ZONING :
● The building is planned according to the three basic levels.
● The first one is Basement Parking.
● Second one is inner courtyard and commercial space which has a close relation with the
road.
● The last one starts from the upper platform where the entrance of flats were constructed
to the top floor. (Residential).

 Built environment
The roof gardens built on the commercial units provide a green area
contribution to the upper town and at the same time the garden strengthens
the view of the houses .
Vertical solar panels are used for blocking the sun but there is no building skin
that makes it harder to control inner climate and again increases energy
usage.
No solar energy panels are used for additional energy gain which leads to
more consumption for heating and electricity
There is pool in the 10th floor which means it needs a lot of energy for heating
and the pool water should be drained once a week for hygiene purposes
Double and triple glazed windows
Green roofs
No building skin
Reinforced concrete and steel linings
No rainwater harvesting management mentioned
