To achieve this in one of the dense parts of Ankara, the design follows the grid of the existing building and appears as a single large mass, divided along the grid from the inside. There are two large courtyards arranged in a grid that provide light and ventilation year-round. Between the courtyards are user-required rooms: a pilates studio and a living space. The material lab provides required functions for four researchers and an archive for materials. A clear line separates the lab and living space, and the materials follow this rule as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-sticky\">The house gives a chance to breathe inside the designed habitat while
