Metro Ofis appears with a project page on Archello, the international architecture platform. Archello is a Europe-based publication that presents the work of architecture practices together with their material and detail credits.
Rising 60 metres on the E-5 highway in Pendik, the building holds 77 office units across 20 floors, resolved in one-, two- and three-module subdivisions. It was positioned to meet the requirement to abut the equal-height building on the neighbouring plot.
What the Archello entry foregrounds is the facade construction: white CNC-cut aluminium panels sit over thin reinforced concrete slabs. Changing shape and rhythm on every floor, the panels set up a continuous wave reading across the surface while also providing solar control. Neutral-toned glass, dark frames and the dark grey soffits to the balconies strengthen the way the white waves detach from the facade.
