Nef Gölköy Residences / EAA - Emre Arolat Architecture

Andreas Luco — Fri, 02 Aug 2024 16:00:00 +0000

The context that the houses are located in, and the nature of their relationship with the land are the most important features in determining the design process of the Golkoy Houses. To avoid intervening with the natural texture and slope of the land, the units situate themselves lightly on the convenient plots within the site. The plots aim to appear as if melting into the natural texture instead of coming to the forefront when viewed from the sea. The aim was to preserve the perception of the land, conserving the matured trees and the existing topographical features by omitting any large-scale interventions.

Framed Allure House / EAA-Emre Arolat Architecture

Andreas Luco — Sun, 27 Aug 2023 11:00:00 +0000

Palm Island in Dubai is characterized by a series of villas that are next to each other but which do not look alike nor even try to relate to each other. One of the important aspects of the design was to close the building volume at the sides, preventing any physical or visual relationship with neighboring sites and extending the building toward the sea as well as to the garden at the back.

Andreas Luco — Fri, 11 Aug 2023 12:00:00 +0000

The buildings that were renovated as the Presidential Museum and Library are just two of the many units that formed Sumerbank Textile Factory, in Kayseri, Turkey. Built between 1933-1935 and designed by Russian architect Ivan Nikolaev, this production facility has been one of the most significant symbols of industrialization and modernization in the Republican period of Turkey.

Istanbul Painting and Sculpture Museum / EAA - Emre Arolat Architecture

Paula Pintos — Tue, 28 Jun 2022 07:00:00 +0000

In 2009 Entrepot Number 5 in the Karaköy Harbor was allocated to Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University for the purpose of transforming it into the Istanbul Painting and Sculpture Museum. Thus was the way cleared for the public use of an area which, although located on an important site in the city center, had almost no social permeability, and for the building of an original, high-quality museum to house thousands of valuable works including important pieces of late Ottoman to modern Turkish painting.

Bianca Valentina Roșescu — Sun, 24 Apr 2022 21:00:00 +0000

The Middle East Technical University (METU) is one of the oldest and most prestigious Turkish universities. Research is one of the most important activities of the institution.

The Museum Hotel Antakya / EAA – Emre Arolat Architecture

Andreas Luco — Wed, 29 Dec 2021 12:00:00 +0000

Situated nearby the Saint Peter’s Church on Mount Starius in Antakya, which is claimed to have housed the first Christian congregation, the 199-room hotel is erected on a site of archaeological findings dating back to antiquity. The Museum Hotel Antakya pays homage to the amazing mosaics, baths, piazzas discovered during the first drills of the site and draws on the tensioned relationship of Archaeology and Architecture by intertwining the ancient and the modern.

Mecidiyekoy Liqueur and Cognac Factory / Emre Arolat Architecture

Andreas Luco — Mon, 10 Jun 2019 21:00:00 +0000

The old Liqueur and Cognac Factory and the magnificent garden in front had an important role in Istanbul’s physical and social memory; the garden was a key element in Mecidiyekoy district’s urban texture, and the historic Liqueur Factory was perceived as true industrial heritage. Between 2009 -2018, EAA’s efforts for the project site were primarily guided by the intention to design a project that understands the potential of this unique ‘place’, restores the value of the factory, and gives back a considerable amount of this land to the city and use of city dwellers.

Pilevneli Gallery / Emre Arolat Architecture

Paula Pintos — Tue, 04 Jun 2019 06:00:00 +0000

Pilevneli Gallery is an assertive example of adaptive re-use located in Dolapdere, a district at Taksim. The area is currently undergoing an urban transformation focused on art and culture. The gallery is situated on the main street, its structure demands attention with its characteristic neutral facade of anthracite vertical lamella and neatly composed linear openings.

Bergama Cultural Center / EAA - Emre Arolat Architecture

Rayen Sagredo — Tue, 11 Sep 2018 01:00:00 +0000

Today, two different images exist together in Bergama. One of them is the ancient city of Pergamon. The acropolis presents the physical appearance of a city culture built upon a rooted civilization. In contrast, the city of Bergama today, laying below Acropolis, displays a rather rural city texture. The urban texture of a typical small town started yielding itself to apartments. Is there any possibility to consider a relationship between the Acropolis and Bergama? The question waits for the description of a place that will host Bergama’s cultural life without avoiding the memory of the place.

Maslak No.1 Office Tower / EAA - Emre Arolat Architecture

Daniela Cardenas — Wed, 30 Nov 2016 02:00:00 +0000

The project for the office building to be situated on the Mecidiyekoy-Maslak axis, where Turkey’s foreign capital takes its most visible form, was conditioned by the tension between density of its environ and the tightness of the project site. It was the client’s wish that the building would be a prestigious building, just like all the other surrounding buildings which only meant to be prominent, having been developed with no certain rule, plan or order.

Yalıkavak Palmarina / EAA - Emre Arolat Architecture

Daniel Sánchez — Mon, 25 Aug 2014 01:00:00 +0000

Yalıkavak is one of the lagoons on the southwestern coast of Turkey, which is becoming a popular destination for blue voyages along the Turkish Riviera. Unlike its provincial center Bodrum, which faced a building boom in the 1980s with the increase in touristic activities, Yalikavak is still a relatively calm, smaller-scale settlement with its natural landscape.

Sancaklar Mosque / EAA - Emre Arolat Architecture

Cristian Aguilar — Tue, 17 Jun 2014 01:00:00 +0000

Sancaklar Mosque located in Buyukçekmece, a suburban neighborhood on the outskirts of Istanbul, aims to address the fundamental issues of designing a mosque by distancing itself from the current architectural discussions based on form and focusing solely on the essence of religious space.

Zorlu Center / EAA - Emre Arolat Architecture + Tabanlioglu Architects

Daniel Sánchez — Thu, 12 Jun 2014 01:00:00 +0000

The Zorlu Center Site is just at the junction of the Bosphorus Bridge European connection and the glamorous Büyükdere axis that connects the city center with the great business district Maslak.

Vıcem Bodrum Resıdences / EAA - Emre Arolat Architecture

Cristian Aguilar — Wed, 28 May 2014 00:00:00 +0000

Along the strip of land between the sea and the coastal road from Bodrum to İçmeler, which is amongst the most popular holiday destinations in Turkey, one doesn’t expect to see a group of buildings on a large scale. It can be claimed that this strip which is preserved in its natural texture, provides a surprising freshness for the eyes that are accustomed to the density of buildings that exists inside the city of Bodrum.

Ulus Savoy Residences / EAA - Emre Arolat Architecture

Daniel Sánchez — Sun, 25 May 2014 01:00:00 +0000

There were two important inputs regarding the settlement located in Ulus, which was to be situated on a lot of approximately 80,000 square meters and would consist of 26 masses of the same size. The first of these inputs is the meaningless rigidity of building conditions that are in effect in these regions of the city. As for the second input, it emerged before us as the entity of a project that was prepared beforehand, whose intricate processes of approval were legally completed, and for which, within this context, the investor preferred to preserve the outlines. Although architectural decisions were shaped almost solely with the concern to conform to operative building conditions, the fact that the number, location, and levels of building blocks in the existing project were exactly preserved in the new design emerged as a requirement.

Santral Istanbul Museum of Contemporary Arts / NSMH + EAA - Emre Arolat Architecture

Daniel Sánchez — Thu, 22 May 2014 01:00:00 +0000

The Golden Horn has been Istanbul’s center and stage for centuries before it lost its glamour starting from the end of the 19th century, and gradually became drabber until the 1990s when it was rediscovered, and for the last 15 years, it has started captivating the city once again thanks to many new projects. Bilgi University offered to carry out the renovation and transformation of the Silahtarağa Power Plant into a museum and recreation and educational center; this typical modern industrial installation constructed between the 1910s and 1950s occupies a 107,000-m² lot forming a sort of peninsula between the Alibeyköy and Kağıthane creeks right where the Golden Horn ends.

Eyüp Cultural Center and Marrıage Hall / EAA - Emre Arolat Architecture

Daniel Sánchez — Mon, 19 May 2014 01:00:00 +0000

Eyüp Cultural Center and Marriage Hall are obtained through a collaboration between a public institution and an architectural office in an architect-client relationship. Unlike public buildings obtained through competition, the client was in charge of the process as well as the architect. Thus, we can claim that the building is owned by the two sides.
