Elit Manzara Residence is located on an area of 13751 m2 in Beytepe neighborhood, which is developing as a residential area in the capital Ankara.
The project consists of two separate prisms which are connected to each other at the ground level, move vertically and horizontally. This formation of the masses is a result of the dwelling typologies that are developed in the design process.
Tower block offers houses with wide scenery of Ankara while the horizontal block suggests close relation to the nature with more green spaces. In order to increase the relationship of the horizontal block with nature, the parking lot is located at the basement floors. Thus created large usable green areas at different elevations.
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. The district itself has a history of light industrial and manufacturing uses that are moving away to the urban periphery allowing housing to reinvent the vacated sites, thereby, transforming the precinct. 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.

The Tokat Sulusaray Thermal Facilities located at the junction of the provinces of Tokat, Yozgat, and Sivas, designed by Studio Vertebra, aims at keeping the city’s memory alive and revitalizing the tourism with its approach that is in harmony with the natural silhouette and that takes the city’s historical ruins as reference.
Having conducted “multidisciplinary” works at national and international scales in the fields of architecture, interior decoration and restoration since the day it was found, the Istanbul-based design office Studio Vertebra under partners Chief Architect Gencer Yalçın, Master Architect Dilşad Öktem Aslaner, Master Architect Bahar Yücel and Interior Architect Efe Kağan Hızar designs the project for the Tokat Sulusaray Thermal Facilities located at an important point at the intersection of the provinces of Tokat, Yozgat, and Sivas.
Located between major highways of Istanbul, D-100 and TEM, in the proximity of Sabiha Gökçen Airport in Pendik, Istanbul, the project transforms an old industrial chemical factory land into a technology company campus for one of the most dynamic Turkish banks.
Inspired by the natural topography around the site and the desire of creating a clear contrast to the surroundings’ unorganized urban fabric, a crystal volume as the main working environment is lying gently over several artificial hills sheltering various functions such as two 600 and 200 seats auditoriums, educational meeting spaces, cafeterias, lounges on bridges, data center and many other functions. With approximately 142,000 sqm total built area and 51,000 sqm site are, the campus programme is configured into three major sections: a 53,500 sqm open offices, a 16,000 sqm auditorium, educational spaces and cafeterias, a 72,500 sqm for parking, a Tier 4 data center, a sport center, common spaces, archives and service areas.
In Sakarya, Serdivan region, 3×6 meters sized four steel transportable modular systems were designed to develop an innovator view against the standard office concept in order to meet the demand of moving the office to different locations in the future. These four modules, each which has been raised from the ground and serving different functions, have been attached with different alignments which has created spaces as used as the entrance area and inner gardens. Therefore, the relationship with the street is strengthened by the front area of the system that is provided with open space for the users. The office is designed by considering the function, detachability, semi-openness, mobility and the relationship with surroundings. On the facade, semi-transparent metal panels with different sizes were used to emphasise the inviting policy of the firm.
When viewed from the sky it is noticed that the green tissue cuts through building islands and reaches the shore in the east of the center of Tekirdag, a city in Thrace region of Turkey surrounded by agricultural land on the north and Marmara Sea on the south. The competition plot is located right next to this intersection where the urban meets the rural. There the sloping topography is sliced with retaining walls reaching 14m height on the northern corner of the plot, in order to create a bus station on the same level with the avenue. The thought that emerged in response to those walls bordering the green and built areas has been the starting point of the architectural design: “Eliminating the walls of the dam so that the buildings from one side and the greenery from the other mix and flow toward the street level; recreating the destroyed part of the topography with the emerging hybrid tectonic pile.”
The functions of the building program were solved as floors with differing sizes stacked on top of the other according to parameters such as, the level of connection with the street, interrelations among the municipality units and load bearing structure concerns. The building mass was shaped as cascades parallel to the retaining walls, in order to refer to the slope of the topography.
Concept design and medical planning for Koc University’s Medical Sciences Campus, located in Istanbul’s Topkapi district, was prepared in collaboration with Cannon Design. From the early stages of the project, design workshops were organized with representatives of different parties, including doctors, nurses, professors and the management team. In addition to the concept design and medical planning, Kreatif Architects also carried out the revisions that became necessary as the planning permission was altered following the completion of the first stage.
The project is based on the idea of creating a spatial organization flexible enough to respond possible future needs and requirements while functioning as an innovative research centre for the medical industry. The design also encourages the integration and collaboration of different disciplines for a better medical education.
