Situation

On the Asian side of the city of Istanbul, an architectural project comes out offering its glamour, upgrading with its presence the social level of the area. It concerns a composition of two imposing 36-storey buildings connected to each other by a cylindrical 19-storey building. It adopts a simple and linear design which is combined with pioneering features but without any sense of extravagance, despite its volume.

Results

Large openings, independent entertainment venues and a continuous effort for unobstructed and panoramic views offer a unique sense of freedom. The rigid construction made of concrete create a notable impression, while at the same time the glass panels of the facade bring balance to the whole construction allowing the unification between the external and the internal environment. Minimal design on furniture and decoration in the interior is combined with the presence of intense curvature, earthy colors and low height in order to enhance the unobstructed view. When the night comes, the lighting which covers the building brings about luxury and provides additional prestige to its name, which is now a trademark of Istanbul.
