A new development in the expanding Kartal district on the Asian side of Istanbul will open up a proposed, master planned community of mixed uses.

Residential is pushing in rapidly as the MA motorway plus a public transport new Metro station makes this area very accessible and desirable. The AND site is fortunately located atop a high point that slopes down towards the water and the Sea of Marmara. Sitting astride this advantageous pinnacle, apartments on the upper levels will have sea views. Additionally, the site is surrounded by civic parkland that imparts a strong landscape context for the design.

Farmville is a mix-use building conceived for a specific program that could (and did) change during time. The project is the outcome of a competition won by AND-RÉ in 2010. At the time the project brief described a mix-use program that included the Agricultural Cooperative administration building, an Incubator for design start-ups, 10 houses for designers and artistic residences, shops, a Biological Market, restaurant, bar and an two level underground parking. The proposal aimed for a contemporary identity based in vernacular references translated to the design in the form of the icon archetype shape, thus promoting recognition and identification by collective memory. The separations between buildings open the building to the city, allowing pedestrian crossings and transversal permeability that ensures urban and social experiences of proximity.
