Landscape Design and Application

In the office garden project located in Arnavutköy, the existing level differences of the site were considered one of the key elements of the design and integrated into the new landscape concept. Corten steel retaining elements were designed to define the different levels and give the space a strong and distinctive character.

The gradient river gravel used within the retaining elements was considered in conjunction with the planting design, creating transitions in texture and color throughout the garden. The warm, rust-colored tones of Corten steel, combined with natural stone and rich planting textures, create a contemporary yet natural atmosphere.

As part of the project, the existing paving was renewed. Natural stone finishes applied to the ground surfaces and parapet walls strengthen the material coherence of the space. The new surface treatment establishes a simple and cohesive relationship between the architecture and the landscape.

In the rear garden, custom metal climbing structures were designed to reduce the enclosed and dominant feeling created by the existing high walls. Over time, the climbing plants are intended to cover the structures and soften the wall surfaces, creating a greener, more balanced, and inviting atmosphere.

Throughout the project, Corten steel, natural stone, river gravel, and planting textures are brought together to create a contemporary, calm, and distinctive outdoor environment for office users.
