The project, has a total construction area of 19305 m² and 92 residences, includes 2+1, 3+1, 4+1, 5+2, 5+1 simplex and 5+1 duplex flats. The block and flat types customized on each parcel appeal to more than one user base. The main concept of the project is creation of contemporary housing within nature as homage to topography. By adapting the “house within a house” concept, the aim was to serve the different possible needs of the users; to illustrate, the young users who want to have their own space while living with their family, the elders of the family who need care, or renting the part of the house for variable purposes. In order to keep up with the changing world, in addition to traditional housing design standards, the aim is to prioritize natural light and ventilation, and the use of open and green areas in both flat and floor plans, in order to stand against the concrete world.

The landscape, designed by adopting the unique features of the topography, has been carefully thought out and designed so that users of all ages and in all situations to be accesible, sustainable and responsive housing design experience. In addition to high-rise blocks, providing dense green area by absorbing density, the project also offers a detached house experience so that the user can experience maximum communication with the landscape designed to highlight the beauties of nature. Buildings sit on 3 separate parcels, can function as a single whole in harmony with each other, it is aimed to establish a working principle within themselves with separate entrances and private-hidden parking lots and different social areas for each block. “Open circulation axis” is designed to connect these different blocks, in a way that to deal with topographical challenges.

In order to increase the user experience by taking advantage of the sloping land, it is aimed to ensure that the buildings do not block each other’s views and to provide a unique city view throughout the day.
