Housing + in Yeni Mahalle, Kayseri

While designing this project, I was inspired by the history of the Yenimahalle.

Yenimahalle is known for being the first neighborhood created in Kayseri and

for having people from many different social structures from the day the

neighborhood was formed to this day. In the project I designed, I aimed to use

a different form, unlike normal multi-storyey buildings. I wanted to create a

wide area for the users with its long, thin structure. I also preferred glass to

provide comfort in floor corridors and houses. Instead of separating the rooms

by using walls inside the apartments, I used a minimum number of separator

walls to create a more holistic and warm environment. In addition, I designed

an open terrace on the top floor of the building so that the residents of the

building can use it. In addition to the residents of the apartment, I designed

an art workshop on the bottom floor for people of all ages to take art lessons

so that my design could be open to the public, and I used minimal walls and

maximum glass to create a spacious environment.In my covered garden,

I designed a small open-space exhibition to display the works made in the ateliers.

I used wooden strip panels on 2 different façades to add mobility to the  building.
