Ankara

NODE Ankara is designed as a multifunctional complex that brings together diverse functions within the fragmented fabric of the urban structure. The project transforms the dynamics of the city into an architectural rhythm by uniting residential, office, hotel, commercial, and cultural uses under a single roof. Here, architecture is not merely about creating form; it becomes an organism that directs urban mobility, nurtures social interaction, and adds new layers to the urban memory. ivaBOX Against the monotony offered by the densely concentrated commercial and office areas in the existing context, NODE Ankara offers a rich programmatic diversity that brings together varied user groups. The integration of an art building strengthens th... More

Contemporary cities are not defined solely by physical resilience; they are complex organisms shaped by social transitions, regulated movements, and distinct traces. Rhythm Ankara emerges as a response to this complexity, making it possible to interpret and transform it through architecture. The project frames the fragments of traditional building clusters as a distribution that disrupts regular architecture. Within a permanent space shaped globally by pandemics, migration, and digitalization, evolutions become traceable in Ankara. ivaBOX In response to forms of encryption that have become confined to retail environments, shifted into digital realms, or rendered socially fragile, Rhythm Ankara re-establishes the relationship between a...

The architectural concept of the building concerns the dismantling of the façade and it’s penetration by nature, providing Via Green with a unique ecological character. Two separate building blocks are combined on the first floors and compose a unique space of offices, luxury restaurants and shops. Through the minimum use of visible concrete and the use of curtain walls, the building succeeds in not dominating its surrounding area. The natural light flows unobstructed into the building, enhancing the growth of plants which are scattered on the façade, providing a breath of calmness to the anxiety of the capital city of Ankara. Simple and minimalistic form, followed by lines bent in the horizontal layout, which formulate... More

Focusing essentially on the individual, functionality and usability, this building combines them to offer an architectural creation which stands out among so many others in one of the fastest growing business areas of Ankara. The primary design lines have been uniformly applied on the entire building of 150 meters. The curtain walls were used as an empty canvas on which a unique image was formed. Horizontal and vertical design lines meet the slopes leading to the top through "dancing" like moves. Minimal design highlights the building's character, as for the companies that are located into it, there is a strong demand on a clear and serious image. The natural light, which enters unobstructed inside the building, helps and enhances the effic... More

A new and innovative project which differentiates itself from the suffocating city which surrounds it. The large verandas ensure natural ventilation, while large glass surfaces allow the creation of unobstructed view as well as a unification of external and internal space... More
