About Gocek Villenanlage

Göcek ist eine Wohnanlage mit 32 Villen in der Region Göcek in der Türkei. Jede Villa umfasst zwischen 110 und 120 Quadratmeter. Der Grundriss folgt einer V-förmigen Anlage, die sich zum Meerblick hin öffnet und die natürliche Belüftung durch die Wohneinheiten lenkt. Halboffene und offene Korridore sowie Brücken verbinden Schlafzimmer, Wohnräume und Küchen und ersetzen die üblichen geschlossenen Flure. Für die Fassadenverkleidung werden natürliche Materialien aus der Region verwendet, die wegen ihrer langfristigen Beständigkeit im heißen lokalen Klima ausgewählt wurden. Ergänzt wird die Anlage durch Gemeinschaftseinrichtungen für die Bewohner.

Unique Properties: The transformation in the layout of living units aims to transcend the traditional housing concept. Instead of the standard residential logic, a fluid transition between indoor and outdoor spaces is provided by connecting open and semi open spaces. In this way, villa residents can experience a life in touch with nature.
Dimensions & Packaging: 110-120 m2, 32 villas. General area 3331 m2, parcel is 22.146 m2

Production Technology: In the project area, social facilities along with 32 villas and social equipment areas have been considered to serve the users. These facilities are designed to enhance guests' comfort and holiday experience. Natural materials from the region were used in the facade coverings. In this way, materials that have naturally adapted to their own climate and have proven themselves over time in nature in terms of durability have been moved to the facade. Therefore, long-term resistance and sustainability against natural climatic conditions was achieved in facade cladding materials.
Design Challenge: One of the most challenging parts encountered during the development and implementation of the Gocek Project was ensuring a design compatible with environmental sustainability. This has been shaped by the interaction of various internal and external factors.Internal factors included different expectations and priorities among various stakeholders of the project team. For example, the architectural design had to be environmentally responsible and preserve the natural landscape, but at the same time the project had to be economically and commercially successful.
Research: Gocek Project achieves the highest level of efficiency with its V-type layout plan and form, taking into account location and climate factors. This form aims to embrace the view and let in the breeze from the sea. The V-type form in the layout plan provides natural ventilation flow by connecting main spaces such as bedrooms, living rooms and kitchens to each other with semi-open and fully open corridors and bridges instead of standard closed corridors and halls.
Inspiration: The project is shaped by the vision of creating a sustainable living space in harmony with nature. Villa types are planned by focusing on the unique location of the land and user needs. The main goal is to embrace the environment, make the most of the landscape and minimize the negative effects of the hot climate. The tourism oriented location in the Gocek region was a key factor in determining the project.
Project Duration: The project started in Gocek on April 2022 and is still continuing.
Operation Flow: The Gocek Project not only offers an environmentally compatible structure, but also integrates the building with its surroundings by harmoniously combining the interior spaces with the exterior spaces, ensuring that its interior spaces are in harmony with the impressive natural landscape outside.
