APPROACH

The Istanbul Merter office building by GAD is located in Merter one of the busiest districts of Istanbul.

The site is wedged into the dense fabric of this part of the city next to a major highway and industrial workshops in a noisy and chaotic node of Istanbul produced by the rapid expansion of the city in the past 10 years. The project is a mid-rise office building on an approximately 5800 sqm site, the building is aligned with the site borders, consolidating the area as a single block consisting of 7 mini blocks and 4 inner courtyards. GAD’s role was to motivate the client to extend the brief beyond business and programmatic needs by providing a human centered environment for office workers above the existing standards in the city.
