SURYAPI HEAD OFFICE

This project was designed to serve as Sur Yapi’s Head Office & Sales Centre. It has 2,182 m2 of built-up area consisting of 3 floors, 2 basements and 1 ground floor.
It is situated on a hillside and has been oriented to maximize the southern light, while aesthetically faceted louvers act as shading.
The louvers become part of the dynamic skin of the building, with richly grained, dark wooden slats complementing slate planes of stone and concrete. The formal subtraction of the built volume on the western facade is an exuberant gesture that lends an unprecedented elegance to the architectonic makeup.
The prismatic mass is a synthesis of the elements. Wood, stone and glass meet to create an architecture that exceeds the tectonic limits of a corporate space, giving it a rather attractive and characteristic look. The space between the building’s facade and wooden panels serves as natural ventilation where the terraces are situated.
The landscape surrounding the building is also designed to complement the building’s exterior façade.
