Based on my research on Mexico’s architecture, a prominent feature is the integration of nature with dwellings. Consequently, I have chosen the concept of interpenetration to establish a harmonious relationship between nature and the building. To achieve this, I have strategically incorporated courtyards between the different spaces.
Given our paramount concern for privacy, I positioned the public entrance and the multifunctional hall along Ataturk Boulevard, while situating the embassy residence on the Kavaklıdere side. To enhance privacy in the facade design, I employed inclined sun breakers. Additionally, for the garden wall, I opted for a curved design and frosted glass, aligning with the topography slope. This configuration ensures that when viewed from the outside, the area appears as lush greenery, aligning seamlessly with my overarching design concept.
