Kagithane 5811 Residences, Istanbul
This mixed-use project brings a modern-industrial, New York-warehouse aesthetic to the Kagithane, Istanbul area.
Two opposing volumes are organized on top of a storefront facade which is pulled laterally across the base of the building. Framed in exposed concrete, these volumes pivot to create a dynamic façade, accented by two window types as well as interspersed voids where outdoor public gatherings can occur.
The layout of the building is efficiently designed around the core, which contains the circulation space and serves as a spine around which the residential volumes hang. Clad in a rich corrugated metal, the staircases become an expressive element which both interrupts and highlights the framed facades.
