TIRE APT. student housing project
51, Ferhatpaşa Caddesi, Bayrampaşa, İstanbul, Turkey
This project is designed and
built as a housing project for students attending the two nearby universities. The
apartment building contains app. 37 sq.mt. one-bedroom units that can
comfortably accomodate up to two people. The
plot faces a small state owned forest.
Circulation areas inside
apartment buildings are generally closed, dark spaces and therefore utilized at
a minimal level. However, these areas play a critical role in the building?s
relationship with its environment, in the formation of the social structure
within the building, and in the lifecycle of the inhabitants. Turning
these spaces, which constitute a large percentage of the building?s internal
area, into lively, social spaces connecting the building to the outside was one
of the major goals of the project.
Two vertical shafts added to this circulation system connect the roof
(which is a large common area) to the lower floors, allow skylight into the
circulation area, provide ventilation, strengthen intra-building relations,
distribute mechanical and electrical systems within the building. The
open pipe and cable network is an extension of the building?s pure, raw, and
simplistic style, and is an indicator of practicality with its easy-to-maintain
layout. The
most important fade of this circulation system, which connects the building
to the street and contains the main entrance was left open. The open cantilevers are private
spaces, split up by acrylic plates in various colors to create different visual
perspectives from the exterior. These spaces have been designated as fire
escape areas.
This concrete building is
composed of block floors and load bearing walls for simplicity and ease of use. The
polyurethane material applied to both the interior and the exterior surfaces of
these concrete walls helps preserve the concrete texture, visually and
physically. The
railing around the roof and balconies, and the stairs are steel, while the
landing and walkable surfaces over the ventilation shafts are glass, laminated
with white film. The
floors inside the apartments and hallways are covered with epoxy coated grout,
thereby connecting the apartments with the exterior. Sliding
doors made of 10 mm transparent acrylic boards in various colors are used
inside apartments and for closets to save space and allow light through,
enabling interior spaces to be continuous and cozy. The
same acrylic material is used to cover the ventilation openings between
bathrooms and hallways. Interior
walls of the apartments are painted in different colors highlighting the
continuity of surfaces, openness and functionality of the spaces. The plastic
window frames are gray, forming a background for the other colors inside the
apartment and preventing the interruption of the concrete texture in the wide
window openings.
At the moment all of the
apartment units are occupied.
