Unique Properties: Sakura Nest is a mixed-use project designed with a holistic approach, integrating office and residential functions while considering the dynamics of contemporary urban life. Dominated by organic forms, the structure embodies an architectural philosophy that harmonizes with nature, aiming to create an innovative urban fabric that is both functional and aesthetically refined.
Dimensions & Packaging: The project site covers 23,585 m2 and includes mixed-use functions with residential and commercial components. It consists of 8 residential blocks with a total of 59 units. The development features 10,000 m2 of commercial area and 600 m2 of social facilities. The total construction area is 28,302 m2, designed to integrate density with open green spaces and functional circulation throughout the site.

Production Technology: Reinforced concrete forms the structural system. The facade features insulated glass and aluminum cladding. Passive shading elements support energy efficiency. The green terraces and rooftop gardens include advanced waterproofing, root barriers, and drainage layers to ensure long-term performance and integrate vegetation at different levels.
Design Challenge: The main creative challenge was to ensure the continuity of the organic form not only on the facade but also across the ground and upper floors. Curved boundaries required a layout beyond the conventional grid system. Floor plans were carefully optimized to support a fluid spatial experience both horizontally and vertically, maintaining consistency of form throughout all layers.
Research: We explored how organic forms can ensure spatial continuity in mixed use structures beyond conventional grids. We researched the impact of multi level green integration on user interaction and how terrace layering and curved boundaries influence circulation, density perception and urban experience.
Inspiration: The project is inspired by the organic flow of nature and the human need for green interaction in urban life. It aims to soften rigid city grids through natural forms and layered terraces. The name of Sakura, symbolizes renewal and harmony, influencing the architecture to embrace softness, sustainability, and seasonal rhythm in both form and material.
Project Duration: The design phase began in October 2024 and was completed in December 2024. Located in Adana, the project sits on a vibrant and socially active urban axis. Its positioning aims to foster strong interaction with the surroundings while contributing to sustainable urban life and dynamic public engagement.
Operation Flow: Sakura Nest connects residential, office, and public spaces through a permeable ground level. Terrace gardens on upper floors allow residents and office users to engage with greenery across different levels. Pedestrian flows are enhanced through integrated paths and social zones, offering a dynamic, multi-level spatial experience.
