Eczacıbaşı is one of the most prestigious firms in Turkey having many different areas that they are specialized on. They wanted to renovate their Innovation Office to be able to use comfortably after the Covid-19 pandemic. One of their most desired request was to have a very calming space with neutral colors and biophilic elements. The
new

With many branches in Turkey, Qatar based QNB Finansbank decided to eliminate their small units and combine them in prestigious office blocks in metropolitan areas for their high profile clients as a post-pandemic approach. The objective of the project was to create a conceptual design, reflecting their corporate but contemporary image to be easily applied at all the rented office spaces. The idea behind the design was to create an identity which is elegant yet inviting & comfortable. The office was aimed to be used as a shared space in different shifts, free from the “desk owning” idea due to the new working methods that we will be facing in the post-pandemic world. The conceptual design was made for their first office, rented in a mixed-use complex called “Vadistanbul” in Kağıthane, Istanbul. Many collaborative zones were distributed in
an approximately 2000 m² office
that allowed to have an agile work environment.
Biophilic elements were introduced in the design to be able to provide physical & psychological wellness as demanded by the employees. Instead of
14
conventional work stations, modern cubicles were used to create social distance and safety in the work environment.

In 2020, with the effects of pandemic, companies started to transform their existing offices with e new vision. LeasePlan Turkey office was one of the first firms to transform themselves. The brief was to reduce the office size which was expanded in three floors previously and to use one floor
as a shared space
designed to be a co-working office. Within the project phase, we introduced flexible working conditions and brought wellness to users of LeasePlan. A focal multi-functional co-working space was designed for various activities in addition to the open office. Using the biophilic design criterias, better solutions were brought for acoustical / lighting problems and natural elements are integrated as desired by the employees from our 2018 workshop results.

Level 0 Plan The main idea of the design on this floor was to create a prestigious and welcoming area, which reflects the company identitiy and integrates the use of technology in the interior space. After studying the general zoning, the reception area was placed at the end of the perspective as an outstanding element and left the rest of the space free to improve the linear perception. The same idea continued in the café zone. Linear metal suspended ceilings with lighting fixtures integrated, aluminum composite panels for wall finishes and natural stone for floor finishes with two different colors with linear cuts were used on this floor.

As a part of the new Tashkent City masterplan, the Hilton Hotel is built together with the new Congress Center in the plot so called “Zone 5”. The Congress Center was built to hold the 2019 Shanghai Cooperation Organisation Summit in Uzbekistan where many world leaders and visitors would attend and the first reason of the hotel to be built in this area was to host the guests and also be an iconic landmark as a modern city image. Surrounded by recently constructed city park, office and residential blocks, the hotel is situated in a high rise urban structure. During the design phase, it was aimed to design the hotel as not only a contemporary element but also an element that reflects the Uzbek identity. The design of the mesh structure was inspired by the Uzbek geometric patterns and it covers the first two floors of the hotel (the base unit where L1-ground floor holds the reception, lobby, back offices, lounge areas, restaurants, ball room, kitchen and L2-first floor holds meeting rooms, foyer, hotel management officea and supportive functions. Apart from the mesh structure, the skin of the tower is a glass curtain wall with linear louvers where the awarded lighting design was also integrated. A similar mesh structure also took place in the congress center where a link was created between two buildings. The execution of the project was rapid and the biggest challenge was to do the execution project & technical coordination with an overlapped construction phase. After the completion of the project and the execution right after, the hotel which is connected to city park is an iconic archtectural building in Tashkent skyline where the public also enjoys.

Curalia Medical Company’s new office building is located in a typical neighborhood of central Brussels. The street has row houses on both sides where the project site has a façade towards it and there is a garden at the backside of the plot. The objective was to create a complex of buildings; one on the street façade for Curalia itself and the other which had to be connected to Curalia unit but working as a rentable space for different companies. The concept was to create a new face among the row houses on the streetside by keeping the same volumetry but using contemporary materials. The back garden was allowed to be constructed up to a certain limit. The main use on ground floor was the multi-functional area with its supportive service functions and it was designed to be connected with the open space to use for company events. The offices to rent were located on the upper level where they were all facing the view and had the chance to have natural light & ventilation.

The main task of the project was to design the masterplan and create a details work for the two blocks, A1 and A2, the two buildings framing the west entrance to the site. The two blocks had an importance to reflect the philosophy of the project as iconic elements as they were located in the entrance of the site, being the first interaction point with the users. The project was based on creating a green, eco-friendly, peaceful neighborhood and giving a flexibility to support a variety of ways of living. The composition of the masterplan was shaped around two movement lines: a series of buildings that form a clear urban front connecting to the existing urban tissue and counterpointed by an array of singular buildings that are more defined, free-standing objects. Those two blocks at the entrance were defined separately, as one initializing the horizontal connectivity with building B6 whereas the other standing as a vertical landmark. As a result, the buildings’ expression assume these different characters, while still keeping a dialogue with each other, as they work together to shape the public entry space.

CHIRCHIQ RIVERSIDE / Masterplan for New Urban Development Year: 2020 Location: Tashkent, Uzbekistan Size: 41 Ha Status: Construction in progress Team: MUUM Architects (Ebru Rato, David Rato, Umut İyigün, Ege Tekkökoğlu, Omar Araar) Participation: Concept for masterplan, landscape design & architectural planning, technical drawings, presentation, on-site meetings in Tashkent Phases: LP 1/2/3 Located 10 km from the city center of Tashkent, Chirchiq River is in the limit of the expansion of the city. The 16 km of the river is an untreated area where many unorganised industrial buildings are located. The river got polluted in time with unplanned construction. Although new roads and metrolines are connecting the river to the city center, the existing situation is not promising. The main market area is also located near the river and new facilities are being constructed but there are no upper scale strategies. The river and its perimeter is a unique area with a lot of potential to be taken advantage of for the sake of the city. The objective of the project was to retreat the river and develop new residential, commercial, cultural and public facilities in strong relation with recreational green spaces where the flood control was managed. Before designing different zones and phases, the general concept is created for the whole 16 km stretch. One of the biggest challenges was the control of the river where we worked in strong relation with engineers to achive the humancentric design we were aiming for. After completing the masterplan, we started examining different zones in phases. The first phase was “Tech City” where we transformed the existing industry into R-G facilities as demanded by the state. We connected this new technopark area to phase 2 (so called “Canal City” which is medium and low density residential zone) by creating a new commercial center called “River Mall” supported with public green spaces, plazas and pedestrian/bicycle routes along the canal. Phase 3 (Lake City) was designed to be the contemporary new urban center with attractions for both the city and the tourists. Phase 4 (River City) is designed to be a residential and commercial zone (mostly industrial headquarters) to connect to the rest of the existing structure.

AEROLIANS - SILK ROAD PARIS / Wholesale Asian Trade Center Landscape Design Year: 2013 Location: Paris, France Size: 8 Ha Status: Completed Team: JNC International (Ebru Rato, Isabelle Bassette, Stef Van Der Bempt, Ludovic Delorme) Participation: Concept, technical drawings, presentation Phases: LP 1/2/3/4 The zone studied for the landscape design within the huge site of Aerolians Paris was aimed to be developed as a new shopping, business and trade center. This zone was specifically considered to be rented to the Asian traders within the proximity of Charles de Gaulle Airport. The landscape design followed the decreasing topography of the site from West to East. The paths/roads between the constructed blocks were treated differently according to the surrounding functions of the blocks. There were four types of streets created: 1-Le Mail de la Boulaie (Boulevard of Birch Trees): Stretching from North to South, this axis was designed to connect the natural zone in the North with the activity area in the south of the site by creating a forestlike route with birch trees. 2-La Promenade des Bassins (Promenade of Basins): This main axis, stretching from West to East had a natural falling topography that allowed rain water to be discharged naturally from the site to the natural zone in the East. Creating ponds along this axis in different levels was useful not only to discharge the rain water but also to create a beautiful landscape with small bridges to walk along. 3-Les Rues Commerçantes (Shopping Streets): These highly active streets needed to be designed for the users to be able to move freely. It was more paved than planted and the plantation was more on specific spots supported by rocks to be used as urban furniture (seats). 4-Les Rues Basses (Lowers Streets): These were the streets created in the lower part By placing these access points on the lower areas, the landscape above was not disturbed.

Onda is located along the Lagune Marchica (La Lagune de Marchica). The objective of the project was to transform the city into a new tourism and trade center. The site had direct connection with the lake and one of the goal of the project was to create a residential zone looking over the future marina and the natural reserve which was a small island with many bird species. The site was an old airport zone so it had a perpendicular shape to the coast. The rising topography allowed users to have a view to the lake and the natural reserve as they move from up to the coastal edge of the project. Residential and commercial functions, as well as other facilities, were designed to be built more on the perimeter of the site so that it would be possible to create open and green spaces in the center that flowed down to the coast. The main green area in the central zone is strongly connected to the rest of the urban park. The coastal area was designed to be a recreation area for the city (service use was limited to certain hours of the day). This created a built environment so that the birds were not disturbed.

The city of Beni Ansar has a border with the Spanish territory, Melilla. Therefore it has an international entrance point within Lake Marchica zone also because of its harbour. It was the city to be transformed into the business and trade center. While creating this high rise area with offices and residential use attached to the existing urban pattern, it was important to keep the natural elements undisturbed. The middle of the site is still the part of the lagune and a rain water collecting zone and it was kept to be a park and a reserve. The cordon of the sand was left untouched to be used a buffer with the built environment to prevent unwanted construction.

Some residences occupy the plain located between the main road and the railway which skirts the lagoon. Tirkaa needed to be able to prefigure the entry to Nador while at the same time retaining its own identity. It was therefore essential to develop an ambitious project enabling Tirkaa to be revitalised, linking in with the centre of Nador and the lagoon. The objective was to arrange the route for heavy traffic as well as giving chance for the neighborhood traffic and pedestrians to flow. There was also difference in topography from north to south of the boulvard so it was considered in the design. The boulevard had commercial buldings on one side with arcades and on the other side, next to the national route, there were paths created for the pedestrians to move safely. There was a possibility to create two promenades because of the difference in level. The high promenade was connected to the tram station and it was possible to move along the high promenade as well as going down to the low promenade with recreational facilities. The new cultural center was also a viewpoint as the terrace moves around itself to higher levels and was open to the users of the city. Two different residential areas in terms of typologies were planned in this neighborhood. First part was the one where existing urban pattern was filled up with small scale houses in reference to local housing pattern with courtyards. The second zone had had a different concept of being perpendicular to the waterfront in order not to create a wall between the water and the mountain.

As part of this competition (won by our team), we designed the masterplan as well as the landscape and public spaces. The zone was located around the old sugar factory of Ath. The objective was to reconnect the city with the canal which was occupied by the old sugar factory and its support areas in old times. Reorginising the traffic was necessary to clear the canal area from vehicles and leave it free for pedestrians and cyclists. The future district was developed in a stratified landscape that is organized from the banks of the canal to a promenade going through different funtions. The landscape project proposed three types of landscape: 1-The valorization of the banks to the benefit of gardens 2-The restoration of undergrowth in accordance with the existing biodiversity 3-The creation of family gardens and orchards in the heart of islets. These landscape areas are linked by both the view and the water frame, which emphasizes the integrated rainwater management upstream of the project. The construction of the project is completed.

The Genappe eco-quartier project was a competition for landscape and architecture won by our team. The site was located close to the old sugar factory of Genappe and the artificial ponds served for the factory were close to the site that created a unique and very present landscape. The idea was to continue this existing landscape within the project area and also design it as a low density residential zone. The area also held the RAVeL (slow traffic route for cyclists, pedestrians & horses) so it was important to make a connection. Within the site, the vehicle traffic was reduced to minimum and the landscape was varied with meadows, playgrounds, orchards, hobby/vegetable gardens and cycling/trekking routes. Rainwater was managed by a network of dry storm basins and water tanks in each dwelling. Public spaces such as squares where local shops, services and recreation were located, also included a nursery, permanent artists’ courses and multisports grounds cotribute to the life of the neighborhoods.’artistes permanents et terrains multisports contribuent à la vie de quartiers.
