Nur Barış / Ecotherapy 

In the analysis of Hürriyet neighborhood, I noticed that people like to gather in parks. In addition, I learned that the happiness rate in the neighborhood and Kayseri is low. Because of that, I chose ecotherapy, which is one of the types of therapy in touch with nature, in order to increase the happiness rate of people who like to gather in parks and to contribute to the creation of a happy and peaceful environment in the neighborhood. There is an area where they can relax in a natural environment with a park arrangement, which has a center where they can sit and chat around a warm campfire in winter. In the transition to this area, there is a cafeteria where they can buy drinks and light snacks while passing through the street I created on the ground floor of the building. Furthermore, there is a studio where they can learn how to grow potted plants. Those living in the building will be able to practice ecotherapy at home by growing plants both in the soil on the south-facing terraces of their own homes and in the common area on the roof. This space includes a kitchen with a coffee place where they can create better interaction together. People living in the building can meet and chat over coffee there. This area includes both an open and closed kitchen. There are 10 flats in the residential section, and they are suitable for nuclear families with 1-2 children or a couple. One of these apartments is a duplex and was designed taking into account the privacy problems that may arise in large families.
