Bio Istanbul

This project is part of what will be the first BREEAM certified community in Turkey. A low-density community orientated masterplan with 12 clusters of townhouses set around shared courtyards. Each cluster has the same prototype plan layout but vary in height between 3 to 7 stories with an average of 20 families per cluster to maintain an intimate neighbour feel. The project consists of 225 units averaging of 130m2 which together with small retail units and an underground carpark totals 48,000m2.
