About Sile Binicilik Tesisi Ruitersportcentrum

Sile Binicilik Tesisi is een ruitersportcentrum ontworpen in een eigentijdse architectuurstijl nabij een bos in Istanbul. Het complex beslaat 33.453 vierkante meter en omvat een binnenmanege, een buitenmanege, een halfopen manege, een L-vormig stalgebouw, huisvesting en een kantine voor de paardenverzorgers, en een veterinaire kliniek. Alle gebouwen zijn op het bos gericht en worden met elkaar verbonden door een stenen pad. De indeling volgt de windrichting met het oog op de gezondheid van de paarden. Natuursteen, hout, glas en staal zijn de belangrijkste materialen. Grote glaspartijen en daklichten brengen daglicht en natuurlijke ventilatie in de stallen.
