本项目是为土耳其东南部最大的制造机织地毯的公司之一——Empera公司设计的总部大楼，与该公司的生产制造工厂一起，都位于加齐安泰普（Gaziantep）地区内的一个井井有条的工业区内。建筑师希望在这个建筑环境单一的区域内建造一座地标般的总部大楼，同时使该大楼能够反映出强大的品牌特色。此外，该项目的设计还充分考虑了基地的气候、周边自然景观、如何有效地利用日光和建筑应该设置的多种功能空间等。

The headquarter building for Empera, one of the biggest companies that manufactures machine-woven carpets in the southeast of Turkey has been designed in the organized industrial zone (oiz*) in Gaziantep where the company also has its manufacturing factory. The headquarter building was planned to become a reference building in a setting with rather restricted architectural references and was to represent the strong brand identity. Moreover the design of the project was guided by the climate, its surrounding natural landscape, effective use of daylight and multiple functions that this building was to host.

受到在该地区发现的红色土壤的启发，建筑师最终选择了砖这种有活力的有机材料，作为本项目的主要材料。建筑室外空间内装点着各式各样的绿植，这些绿植与大楼的立面设计融为一体。因此，这座总部大楼用一种建筑的方式，重新诠释了其周围环境中的红土和沼泽景观，从其自然环境中脱颖而出。

Inspired by the red soil found in the region and being a living, organic material, brick was chosen to be the predominant material of the project. Different types of plants in outdoor pots were integrated in the design of the facade. Hence, the building rising up as a reinterpreted expression of the surrounding red soil – moor landscape, was made to stand out against its serene, natural setting.
