Located in Istanbul, Turkey, Extensa apartments designed by Swanke Hayden Connell Architects (SHCA) that has unveiled its design for a 92 unit apartment building in a residential suburb of central Istanbul. SHCA’s offices in London and Istanbul are collaborating on the design development and construction phases of this exciting scheme located in the up and coming area of Bomonti.
SHCA is working for the Extensa Group, a European property developer with headquarters in Belgium. Extensa first appointed SHCA to provide a master-plan for a 2.4 hectare site which includes several development plots and an existing organic market. Following the delivery of the master-plan, Extensa commissioned SHCA to provide concept designs for the residential apartment building, which will sit on the first plot to be developed.
The eight storey building is made up of studio, 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments and also includes a number of retail units at street level. These units are ideal for small cafes, restaurants or specialist food shops.
Patrick Spears, at SHCA comments: “Istanbul has a huge population and much of the city’s accommodation is in need of redevelopment and refurbishment. As such there is significant demand for modern high quality apartments such as this. One of the central features of the site is its orientation: it faces west towards a large open space that is occupied by an organic market. It is akin to travelling farmers markets which have become very popular here in the UK, but in this case, it is the real thing and has been long established in this location.
