To get around 'outdated' building regulations this house was 'exploded' into three separate pods, each with the maximum allowable footprint of 75 m2 and a distinct function - master bedroom/bathroom, kitchen/dining and guestroom/study. Concrete ramps link the various pods to a central glazed atrium, which serves as both the entrance and the main living space of the house. The construction is of concrete, steel, local stone and glass - the electronically operated windows in the atrium can slide open flush to the ground, allowing sea breezes to flood the space.

This boutique resort on the Bodrum coast consists of a hotel, 13 houses, a health spa and restaurants, and support facilities. The design was generated using mathematical software to treat the terrain as an elastic malleable layer and then manipulate building forms upon it according to their functions. Different building typologies for private and public areas define heterogeneous zones, which are emphasised by a diverse material palette. This palette of natural stone, stucco and Marmorino also creates visual and tactile richness. A timber pier and organic steel sunshades help to synthesise landscape and architecture.

The project, an administration building, is a steel and glass structure, with a floor area of about 1'200 m2, provides rooms for training, meetings, and administration. The structural system chosen for this building enabled rapid erection and assembly on site, and it is economical, durable, and attractive. This light construction can as easily be dismantled and taken to another site, if necessary. The architect's role was seen as fusing space requirements with structure and infrastructure (services) amidst a play of light by using visible and invisible surfaces made up of recyclable materials in a functional and simple ensemble. The building is designed as a simple rectangle consisting of 10 bays of 3.3 metres each along its front and three bays across, a central one of 2 metres and one of 7 metres on either side. The upper level roof projects 5 metres out with parallel ribs providing shade from the rising morning sun, yet letting the sky be visible through it all day, in the form of an elevated pergola. A totally glass-encased entrance doorway leads into a two-level central atrium space. A grand staircase made up of laminated glass steps on a steel frame leads dramatically from the atrium foyer to the upper level. The upper level has three distinct areas. Directly at the top of the stairs is a large multi-purpose space, which leads to the right to four individual office rooms, and to the left to an open-plan office atop the seminar room. The entire structure is clad in carefully detailed glass or blank panels, selected and positioned to provide maximum light to the interiors, achieve transparency of space and structure from the inside out and outside in, and also relate to the direction of the sun.

This project has taken a historic building on the famous Istiklal Caddesi and inserted a modern core to provide a multi-purpose cultural centre. The historic shell has been restored, while the contemporary box at its heart comprises a lightweight steel dia-grid frame of V columns supporting open-plan floors, including two storeys of exhibition space, double-height concert halls, rehearsal rooms, a cafe and roof terrace. Many art works are integral to the building, including LEDs illuminating the V columns. While preserving Istanbul’s architectural heritage, the project also aims to symbolise the city’s artistic renaissance in a playful tension between past and present.

A multipurpose event space in the Ortaköy district of Istanbul, built inside the ruins of a brick palace that was built in 1875 by architect Sarkis Balyan for Esma Sultan, sister of Sultan Abdülaziz. The incorporated structure is built out of steel and glass within the original brick exterior. The glass box is tethered to the walls with suspension rods, which ensure that the structures remain equidistant from each other and are able to withstand bad weather and earthquakes. The building is set on several levels and includes a bar, a restaurant, and an event hall. Source: Aga Khan Trust for Culture
