 ● Kumru Ankara project, which is rising in a single block, The Kumru

Ankara project, built as a mixed project, consists of 164 houses and open
bazaars. The project is rising with a construction area of 8 Acre.

 ● The settlement consists of two main parts.



 ● Commercial uses are sub-mass, and rising floors have residences.

 ● The residential tower is also spatially integrated into the park, and at the
same time, it forms a nice opening with the square.

 ● Since the complex is placed in the center of the Ankara, it has several
transportation opportunities which increase the accessibility of the site
and by the design of inner courtyard; the idea of social life area is
achieved.

● In terms of urban scale, it was considered as a "public space" that

enriched the social activity network on the 4th street and its
surroundings with new cultural activities
Ground floor plan
● First, the surrounding roads, uses,
 axis, street level data were
evaluated. The presence of Yıldız
Crossroads, Turan Gunes Boulevard,
Dikmen Valley create pedestrian
circulation and keep the site
location alive.

● Therefore pedestrian flows were

taken into account to propose a
floor layout scheme. The level
difference in the site is used like two
distinct floors.

● These two functions and levels are

in an order, and compatible with
each other. In addition to these,
historical squares, bazaars continue
to reflect the daily life vitality of the
city.
 ● The building is planned according to the three basic levels. The first one is

public platform, second one is inner courtyard, which has a close relation with
the road, and the last one is the upper platform where the entrance of 2 + 1
and 1 + 1 flats and 3 + 1, 4 + 1 flats were constructed.

● The social facility created on the 11th floor which provides a synergy of the
housing groups formed by the upper and lower blocks as an activity area
which has a clear city view. Fitness center, swimming pool, playground are
provided on this level which brings people together.

Residential Blocks.
● The location of the design has a strong potential to be able to provide a nice city
view to the users. Therefore, 360 degree city view is provided in the houses.
Architectural approach emphasizes the environmental and energy sensitivity issues,
and the concept of green building is adopted as a sustainable understanding.

● The roof gardens built on the commercial units provide a green area contribution to
the upper town and at the same time the gardens strengthen the view of the houses.
While Kumru Ankara presents a new public space to the city's social life cycle, the
strong relationship it establishes with the city also provides a rich living space to its
users.
