Housing + in Yeni Mahalle, Kayseri

The project is a place where people of advanced age can come and spend their days and spend time with the workshops held from time to time. The design was conceived as three main blocks and shaped as a circulation in the middle and living spaces surrounded by it. The spaces shaped around the circulation form a living space that draws people in with an amorphous transition from bottom to top. and this area serves the workshop. The building consists of houses that can see this area and watch the life here. In this way, the people who live in the building always have a relationship with the flow here. The surfaces on the front and right façades are completely covered with copper movable panels. In this way, the user is offered the choice of using wide openings, and the change of the material over time symbolizes the life cycle of the human being. This idea constitutes the concept when we consider the user identity. The transparent areas in the structure are mostly supported by metal and concrete textures and only the textures of these materials can be seen. When the site is looked at the plan, the smooth transitions of the building, which can be seen from below, are not felt. These smooth and fluid transitions are made readable by the landscape design. In addition, the design of the road on the right side of the building also forms an axis with the park located on a back street. In this way, it offers a transit route that directs people who want to spend time with their grandchildren to the workshop. The use of this space also provided a space for people from different age groups to spend time together.
