Ovoo, in Mongolian and Altaic folk belief and Shamanism, refers to small mounds made of rocks, stones, or wood. The stone mounds found along roadsides across Mongolia are also considered sacred. It is believed that leaving something on these mounds brings luck. Travelers walk past an Ovoo, circle it three times (clockwise) and place a stone on it. The purpose is to symbolically receive the energy of good luck from the stone mound. The site plan of Ovoo will prioritize the independent embracing of the view for each unit, regardless of the land right precedents, consisting of 21 blocks with 43 units of various sizes.
There are villas and apartments ranging from 5+1 to 2+1 sizes, each bedroom having its own bathroom. In addition, there are 11 villas, one of which is a twin, and 10 apartment blocks, all planned with independent gardens and pools. The project features include pergolas designed with special solid wood and stainless steel connectors to be placed in front of each building. These pergolas aim to aesthetically enrich the buildings' outdoor spaces and provide residents with a pleasant outdoor living area. The design aims to enhance the aesthetic integrity of indoor and outdoor spaces, increasing the comfort and quality of life for users.
The daily water needs will be met by converting seawater and wastewater, and the trees and plants used in the landscaping will be selected from vegetation suitable for the Bodrum climate and capable of maintaining ecological balance. The building structure is earthquake-resistant, based on radial foundations, two-story, flat-roofed reinforced concrete. A key difference is that the structures are built on thousands of years old rock masses, providing high durability, rigidity, and environmental sensitivity. The stone cladding is considered a thermal dressing to reduce the effects of the hot climate. The stone facade carries the feature of beautifully reflecting its surroundings at different times of the day.
In the sea front area of Ovoo, there are two different beaches. One of the beaches is reserved exclusively for Ovoo homeowners, while the other is designed for the heavy use of day visitors. Terraces graded in harmony with the existing topography are built on land stones and host daytime and nighttime cafe, bar, and restaurant areas. The terrain slopes towards the sea and has a rocky geographical structure. Retaining walls are made from rocks extracted from the land. These coffee-red toned rocks make the retaining walls blend into the terrain and become invisible. The building facades use yellow-toned Anatolian stones cut in 60-80-120 sizes.
Upon first approaching Ovoo, a sculpture garden open 12 months a year is planned as an art gallery that will host both Ovoo's permanent and temporary collections. Additionally, to support young artists, exhibitions, workshops, and "open studios" and workshop spaces for young visitors will be hosted, in addition to visiting artists to stay for a certain period during the winter months. Furthermore, a structure hosting events such as concert areas and open-air cinemas is also under consideration.
