KADIKÖY DEVELOPMENT Kadıköy is an area located in a growing district in the North-East part of Istanbul, characterized by very high-density residential buildings. The client demanded 120.000 sqm on very small lots, many different size of apartments and commercial spaces on the ground floor so the decision was to create overlapping volumes. At the ground floor twostories commercial volumes are built by subtraction, that means digging the ground and taking advantage of the natural slope of the lots, on the upper floors emerge two distinct volumes with medium and big size terraced apartments and finally the towers with smaller apartments and penthouse duplex. A unique modular framework, composed by vertical and horizontal lines, unifies all the different parts of the building facades, creating a regular and orthogonal aggregation, which forms a counterpoint with the ground floor inclined geometry.

DESIGN PROCESS To combine these client needs with the terrain natural slope, we have decided to hide the commercial part by a land excavation on which we have inserted the commercial part. Its roof is composed by different steep surfaces, which create a unique morphology with the terrain itself. Everything here is covered by green to create a continuous land where are provided: pedestrian walkways, vertical connections to the apartments and playgrounds used by inhabitants. Above this urban system three housing blocks, with different shape and facades, are combined together to form a complex volume composition. Different apartment typology influences a different architectural expression.
