Şehir Konakları

To the southeast of the complex, there is a neighborhood park of similar size, which features a rehabilitated stream. The tall E block and commercial units open onto a busy street to the southwest. On the northwest side, there is another residential complex called Whiteside, which shares the same street for access. Of the four residential blocks, A, B, and F are 9 stories high, E is 14 stories, and C-D are twin 5-story blocks. The rear façades of A, B, and F blocks face northwest-northeast, while the lower C-D blocks overlook the neighborhood park from the rear, with the commercial block located along the southeast edge.

Şehir Konakları sits on a flat site. The ring road looping around the blocks is one-way, and a 450-metre running and cycling track runs alongside it. Service and pedestrian entrances to the blocks are reached from this ring road, at their rear elevations. The entrance to the complex is placed at the most open point of the garden. Because the entry and exit of the two-level underground car park sit immediately at that entrance, no vehicle traffic is anticipated within the complex itself.

The site plan features a green strip in front of the terraces on the ground floors of the blocks, enhancing the elevation of the apartments. Pedestrian pathways within the garden are separated from these private gardens by a continuous decorative pond, creating a more secluded “semi-private” area in front of the terraces.
