Housing + in Hürriyet, Kayseri

Zehra Zeynep Koyuncu / Introspection

My introspection project is located in the Hürriyet neighborhood of Kayseri. Before starting this project, I thought about the needs of this region and what I could add to the existing things. However, as a result of my various analyzes and syntheses, I built a dance studio in order to enable the people living in this region to socialize more and contribute to things, and to revitalize this place even more. Because dance is the version of our inner feelings transformed into movements, which can be expressed as introspection. People can come here and have fun and dance various dances. At the same time, there is a cafe under my house and they can come here and eat and drink something. I built a public semi-open area with a playground on the other side of the cafe. In this area, I wanted to refer to the landscape on the opposite side of my area. At the same time, this area has a lot of grid structure and low-rise buildings, so my house works as a whole with this area by associating it with the environment. The units of my house are different, the reason for this is that they have different users. I organized it according to the age group living here, including the elderly, families and those living alone. The core of my building runs right through the middle so it's equidistant from both sides. people can reach their homes easily. I made the staircase section a semi-open, spacious area in the form of a gallery space, so that people could sit and meet here. Finally, the roof of my building evokes the movements of dance. It has an irregular and harmonious composition. I wanted to create integrity by using the same shape as the top cover of my open car park and the 2D version on the windows of the dance studios.
