Four unit types, ranging from single residents to extended families, accommodate diverse social structures within a cohesive system. Each unit is organized through a split-level strategy: the lower level contains wide, neutral, and flexible spaces, while upper levels host private rooms opening to balconies overlooking the sofa. This creates a double-height communal volume that balances collectivity and privacy. Units are assembled into tower and village clusters, evoking the \u201ckonak\u201d spirit through shared kitchens, landings, and courtyards. A podium with shops, pop-up spaces, and a kids\u2019 street anchors community life, extending co-housing vertically and horizontally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Author:<\/strong> Asl\u0131nur Ayd\u0131ner, Zeynep \u0130mamo\u011flu<br><strong>Studio:<\/strong> ARCH 301 Fall 2025<strong><br>Instructor(s):<\/strong> Zeynep Ege Odaba\u015f\u0131<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n<div class=\"taxonomy-category wp-block-post-terms\"><a href=\"https:\/\/arch.bilkent.edu.tr\/?cat=232\" rel=\"tag\">2025<\/a><span class=\"wp-block-post-terms__separator\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/arch.bilkent.edu.tr\/?cat=16\" rel=\"tag\">ARCH301<\/a><span class=\"wp-block-post-terms__separator\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/arch.bilkent.edu.tr\/?cat=11\" rel=\"tag\">Studio Works<\/a><span class=\"wp-block-post-terms__separator\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/arch.bilkent.edu.tr\/?cat=39\" rel=\"tag\">Year<\/a><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"taxonomy-post_tag wp-block-post-terms\"><a href=\"https:\/\/arch.bilkent.edu.tr\/?tag=301_2025\" rel=\"tag\">301_2025<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"820\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/arch.bilkent.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/diagrams_2-820x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10064\" srcset=\"https:\/\/arch.bilkent.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/diagrams_2-820x1024.jpg 820w, https:\/\/arch.bilkent.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/diagrams_2-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/arch.bilkent.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/diagrams_2-768x959.jpg 768w, https:\/\/arch.bilkent.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/diagrams_2.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"820\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/arch.bilkent.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/diagrams_1-820x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10065\" srcset=\"https:\/\/arch.bilkent.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/diagrams_1-820x1024.jpg 820w, https:\/\/arch.bilkent.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/diagrams_1-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/arch.bilkent.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/diagrams_1-768x959.jpg 768w, https:\/\/arch.bilkent.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/diagrams_1.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"820\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/arch.bilkent.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/units-820x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10066\" srcset=\"https:\/\/arch.bilkent.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/units-820x1024.jpg 820w, https:\/\/arch.bilkent.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/units-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/arch.bilkent.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/units-768x959.jpg 768w, https:\/\/arch.bilkent.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/units.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"820\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/arch.bilkent.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/plans-and-sections-820x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10067\" srcset=\"https:\/\/arch.bilkent.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/plans-and-sections-820x1024.jpg 820w, https:\/\/arch.bilkent.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/plans-and-sections-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/arch.bilkent.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/plans-and-sections-768x959.jpg 768w, https:\/\/arch.bilkent.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/plans-and-sections.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"820\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/arch.bilkent.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/podium-vignette-and-facade-820x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10068\" srcset=\"https:\/\/arch.bilkent.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/podium-vignette-and-facade-820x1024.jpg 820w, https:\/\/arch.bilkent.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/podium-vignette-and-facade-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/arch.bilkent.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/podium-vignette-and-facade-768x959.jpg 768w, https:\/\/arch.bilkent.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/podium-vignette-and-facade.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 820px) 100vw, 820px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reimagining the traditional family apartment, this project positions the \u201csofa\u201d as a shared communal ground.
