In the project
submitted to the national competition opened by the Governorship of
Hatay, a transparent public building inviting people into its luminous and
spacious interiors was aimed.
The building was designed to have minimum number of
floors and the layout plan was developed in a way that the grown trees on
the plot are not affected.
The whole plot was opened to the public use as a
recreational area by covering the building with a green roof with a walkable
slope starting from the ground.
The office spaces were lined up next to each other
within a depth of maximum 8m, and a gallery space of 10m width was created in
between, in order to benefit from natural lighting, as well as cross
ventilation.
An “inner street” accessible by multiple entrances was
created with the wide corridor on ground floor spanning under the gallery
space. Unity of inside and outside was achieved by the transparent façade
alongside the inner street.
Natural stone that is widely used in the vernacular
architecture of the region was preferred as the main cladding material. The
building mass becoming part of the topography was underlined by using natural
stone on both the façades and the floors.
The existing concrete water tower was structurally
enhanced with steel and turned into a sightseeing platform, as well as a point
of reference on the way approaching the city center.
