the specific location of the land of this project has been the main concern in the design stages of the project. The project land is a linear land approximately 7 meters long in length, located in the middle of a tree planting space. The original design idea was to minimize the elements used in the design; therefore, a volume with transparent bodies for this purpose, considered tree trunks on the site as the only vertical elements available, the idea of forming vertical elements with a diameter similar to tree trunks for the columns supporting the roof of the project. In this way, there is no body that blocks the view of the audience and the volume of the building has somehow disappeared in the middle of this space and the visual connection between the front and back of the building is maintained through a transparent glass body. The blades used in the body of the building are inspired by the trunks of the girls of the site. By changing the rhythm of the placement of the blades and creating more density in the center of the linear volume of the building, the project entrance is formed; At the same time, since this building is an office building as a complement to the main office building of the complex, which is located behind it; This entrance has continued to the back shell of the building, and in a way, this building has been considered as the definition of the entrance axis to the main office building. The building consists of two linear arms, east and west, in which open office uses are located, and the empty space between these two arms with a semi-open dome roof opens the role of the entrance space to the building and the main office building.
The rhythm of the height of the blades in the north and south bodies of the building is also defined in a way that helps to invite the project. It is located between the green space and the yard.
In short, it has been tried to be placed in the pristine space according to the least amount of intrusion and capture in the perspectives and visual views. As a shelter for humans and vertical blades as a symbol of existing tree trunks.
