About Kaleici Courtyard Hotela Korto
Kaleici Korto estas hotela korto situanta apud la Pordego de Hadriano en Antalya, Turkio. La korto kovras ĉirkaŭ 800 kvadratajn metrojn kaj funkcias kiel socia kaj klimata spaco. Arkaj aperturoj, modula pergolo de ĉirkaŭ 150 kvadrataj metroj kaj centra akvoelemento de ĉirkaŭ 40 kvadrataj metroj gvidas la movadon kaj provizas ombron. Sesangula naturŝtona planko, blankaj mineralstukaj surfacoj kaj nigraj forĝmetalaj balustradoj rememorigas historiajn proporciojn. Plantadaj zonoj kaj pasiva ombrado moderigas la klimaton kaj subtenas kunvenadon.

- Unique Properties
- The Kaleici Courtyard Project reinterprets a historic hotel courtyard adjacent to Hadrian Gate, transforming it into a contemporary social and climatic hub. Arched rhythms, modular pergola, and organic water features reference the historical threshold, while hexagonal stone flooring, metal details, and minimalist interventions balance heritage with modern spatial continuity.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- The courtyard covers an estimated area of 800 square meters, with modular arched zones defining circulation and hierarchy. Pergola spans 150 square meters over main gathering areas. Water feature occupies approximately 40 square meters in the central axis. Height variations range from 3.0 m at pedestrian thresholds to 4.5 m under pergola. The courtyard is integrated with surrounding hotel blocks and heritage facades, maintaining visual connectivity with Hadrian Gate.

- Production Technology
- The project features reinforced concrete and masonry structures for the courtyard and surrounding hotel areas, natural stone flooring with hexagonal modules, white mineral plaster surfaces, black forged metal railings, semi-permeable pergola systems, organic water features, integrated planting zones, custom linear and decorative lighting, passive shading strategies, and HVAC for surrounding indoor spaces. All metal elements fabricated with CNC cutting and precision welding; stonework aligned modularly to preserve historical rhythm.
- Design Challenge
- he main challenge was balancing historical authenticity with contemporary design. Maintaining visual continuity with Hadrian Gate while introducing modern materials and passive climate strategies required precise proportioning, modular detailing, and careful intervention to avoid visual mimicry.
- Research
- The project investigates how historical courtyard thresholds can be reinterpreted in contemporary hospitality architecture. By analyzing spatial hierarchy, light-shadow interplay, and material layering, it demonstrates a method to integrate historical reference, climatic performance, and social functionality.
- Inspiration
- Inspired by Hadrian Gate’s historical triple arch and threshold concept, the project examines transitions from public streets to private inner courtyards. The design abstracts historical proportions, light-shadow relations, and rhythmic stone patterns to create a contemporary courtyard experience.
- Project Duration
- Designed in Antalya, Turkey
- Operation Flow
- Visitors experience a controlled threshold from the street to the semi-private courtyard. Arched openings, pergola shadows, and textured flooring guide movement. Water feature and planting zones create visual and climatic layers, encouraging social interaction while referencing historical patterns.
