绿意盎然的伊斯坦布尔购物中心

The mall with a 120.000m2-covered space in four floors is placed

in Istanbul, Sultanbeyli, where green areas, parks or open-air

public spaces in the region is lacking. While working on the interior

design of this four storied shopping mall with 120.000m2 total space in

Sultanbeyli, Istanbul, the most basic principle of design was to create a

green recreational area on the ground level with no commercial function

present around.

Thus a neutral and quiet public recreational green area without any

commercial activity was created in the middle of the ground floor

regarding the needs of all potential users, for children at most. Taking

into consideration that the county already lacks green areas, all users’

and especially children’s recreational needs were looked out for and a

public space as neutral and calm as possible was created.

Perforated wooden ceiling panels in wavy forms were used to break the

linear axis of the extremely long corridors, which could be overly regular

and boring.

Sultanbeyli Shopping Mall was built around a single gallery space which

takes natural sunlight for long hours and as a result it had very long

corridors. In order to deform the linear form which could have easily

become dull and homogeneous, perforated and modular wooden roof

panels were implemented in wavy shapes.
