The building is located on the Eskişehir Road axis, right next to the Halkbank building, which has given its silhouette to this road for years, and it tries to share its silhouette.
The primary design objectives for the building were to find a place among all these heights, to be remembered, and most importantly, to exist. Creating a memorial within the evolving urban fabric and the ever-changing skyline was the primary goal of the design.
Taking all these qualities into consideration, a building was designed to provide a peaceful working environment and support the company's weight. The resulting structure, with its facade, possesses a recognizable form within its site.
Furthermore, an exhibition area was designed at the base of the building to showcase the company's products, highlighting its history and vision. This effectively serves as a showcase for the company.
A powerful synthesis of these design criteria resulted in a sculpture that sprouts and shines from its base. Referencing the company's mission and the confidence it derives from its history, the building was conceived and designed as a living sculpture, encompassing a bright and spacious environment.
