About Rams City Verkoopkantoor
Rams City is een verkoopkantoor gelegen in de historische wijk van Istanbul. Het gebouw combineert bogen en een centrale koepel met een gevel van beton en staal. Geprefabriceerd beton en metalen frames vormen de boog- en koepelelementen. Een glazen gevel brengt natuurlijk licht binnen, terwijl houten lambrisering en steen warmte toevoegen. Bij de ingang staat een enkele boom in een versterkte, geïntegreerde plantenbak. De open indeling leidt bezoekers naar de projectmaquette die onder de koepel is geplaatst. Functionele ruimtes zijn discreet geïntegreerd om de privacy te beschermen.

Additionally, ensuring privacy while maintaining an open and flowing space was a unique design hurdle.

Arches and a dome were strategically employed to reflect Old Turkic heritage, while modern materials like concrete and steel were used to balance tradition with simplicity. The use of nature and minimalistic design enhances the showrooms connection to its surroundings.
