Cukurova

            Located in a developing area in the north of Adana, on the banks of the Seyhan Dam, "Cukurova" aims to keep the lively texture of the city alive on the shore. The project consists of a combination of residential and commercial functions on a highly sloping land. By taking advantage of the slope, which is an important input for the design, the different needs of public and private areas are taken into account and special areas are defined for both functions.

            Using the stepped plinth system, "Cukurova", which works as a part of the land, aims to create a public space along the coastline by increasing the circulation of the user. This system, created by the elevation difference, provides maximum access to the view of the Seyhan River for all users. While the organic design language increased the comfort of circulation, it also helped to create harmony between the architectural distribution of the buildings and the landscape.

            Thanks to this organic form and slope, an inner courtyard serving residential life was designed at the top level to create private spaces for residents and ensure user comfort. Thanks to this courtyard, a green area has been created that is not only limited to the view offered by the river, but also refers to the nature of Çukurova. Maximum accessibility to the common courtyard and plinths is ensured thanks to various circulation systems developed for each level and function.

            Facing the common courtyard and connected to each other with areas customized in line with their common needs, the residences differ within themselves in order to serve different types of users.

            "Cukurova" is intended to be an accessible design with high urban use value on the banks of the Seyhan River and to create social vitality in the Çukurova District by transferring the density of the city center to the coastline.
