Housing + in Hürriyet, Kayseri

Nestled in the vibrant locale of 'Hürriyet,' this groundbreaking residential+commercial housing block redefines urban living with its visionary design. The project aims to seamlessly integrate diverse plan types within a singular building, fostering inclusivity and connectivity with a distinct public function.

 

The architectural canvas unfolds as an open building design, spanning two interconnected blocks via a network of inviting stairs. At its heart lies a captivating atrium, a biophilic oasis that not only enchants visually but also intricately intertwines with the public function, creating a harmonious atmosphere. 

​

Outside, an enchanting arboretum offers a sensory journey, complemented by landscape design that promotes pedestrian circulation. The strong, continuous facade design is a visual highlight, with wooden columns extending dynamically from the ground, sometimes reaching terraces or different floors, adorned by the verdant embrace of ivy. 

​

Within the residential realm, ten carefully designed houses over three floors create a communal sanctuary. Shared spaces such as a roof terrace, floor gardens, seating areas, and bicycle parking seamlessly blend into the living tapestry, catering to diverse resident needs. 

​

The ground floor hosts a public section, featuring a therapy and education space tailored to the region's nuances. This deliberate integration ensures accessibility through an open structure design, emphasizing a commitment to community enrichment. 

​

In essence, this housing block transcends conventional boundaries, weaving together architecture, nature, and community into a symphony of design brilliance. It stands as a testament to the power of thoughtful urban planning, where every element is not just functional but also a statement of the project's ethos: a celebration of inclusive living in harmony with the environment.
