Design Challenge: The key challenge was merging historical influences with modern needs. Incorporating arches and a dome within a functional sales office required a careful balance between aesthetic homage and practical use. Additionally, ensuring privacy while maintaining an open and flowing space was a unique design hurdle.
Research: The research focused on integrating historic architectural references with contemporary design. 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.
Inspiration: Inspired by Istanbuls rich history, we incorporated Turkic influences with arches and domes as key elements. A lone tree at the entrance fosters a serene connection to nature. The facade blends concrete and steel, balancing tradition with modernity. This design honors the citys past while embracing its evolution, capturing a timeless yet innovative spirit.
