TİSAN SUMMER HOUSES

Located on a hillside overlooking Tisan Bay in Silifke district of Mersin, the project is a summer house complex with 161 residences consisting of apartment types and detached types with pools.

The design, which tries to connect with the surrounding nature and aims to continue within its body; It has been designed according to criteria such as landscape, wind, sun, human scale, functionality, sustainability, locality, passive air conditioning.

Problems caused by excess housing demand and density; mass movements, gradations, settlement setup, landscape decisions, material and color preferences and efficient plan designs have been tried to be solved.

• Settlement

– The buildings are placed parallel to each other to meet the demand for dense construction and to use the space efficiently.

– The buildings are placed in a staggered manner for a better view of the landscape.

– The 1st block row has 2 storeys, the 2nd and 3rd block rows have 3 storeys each, and the 4th and 5th block rows have 4 storeys each, allowing the apartments to see the view with maximum efficiency.

– In the first two rows of blocks on the sea side, duplexes and detached houses with pools were placed, and in the next three rows, apartment type blocks were placed.

• Plan Diagram

– First of all, the plan scheme in which all rooms face the view direction was tried, in this case it was not possible to achieve the desired construction ratio.

– When we tried a plan scheme where the living room and kitchen face the view and the bedrooms face the back, the desired numbers were achieved, but our intention to have all rooms facing the view was not fully realized.

– In the last case, by using the two above-mentioned plan schemes together, the advantages of both situations were utilized. It was possible both to build in the desired precedent and to make alternative designs that can make maximum use of the view.

• Mass Design

– The length, width and height effects are minimized in the masses, which are divided horizontally and vertically with protrusions of different heights and widths, and staggered with terraces and eaves. Minimal mass effects were created by bringing them closer to the human scale.

• Facade Decisions

– A variety of materials from Mediterranean vernacular architecture such as stone, wood, white and cream colored plaster and contemporary materials such as colored aluminum joinery and large windows are blended to create a modern façade design that can be identified with the spirit of its location.

– The materials have been distributed in a balanced way to be more economical. While the rear facades are predominantly plaster, the plaster ratio is reduced on the front facades and wood and stone materials are used more.

– Balconies on the front facade, sliding wooden panels attached to the balconies, wooden canopies on the terraces and gardens were designed to reduce the intense sun effect in the hot climate.

– With glass-glass corner windows and balconies, a panoramic view from the buildings to the bays located on the diagonals of the site is intended to be captured.

• Landscape Decisions

– Tree rows were considered on the streets. Thanks to these trees, a natural landscape environment is provided, while at the same time, it is thought that the tree texture that penetrates between the buildings in the silhouette will be more compatible with the natural environment.

– In some parts of the terrace roofs, a green roof application has been applied to prevent the bad roof terrace view seen by those who watch the view from the balcony. In order not to increase the construction cost of this application, these green roofs were designed as partial green roofs. Gravel was used on the remaining non-navigable terrace roofs.

– The intermittent stone material laid on the driveway provides a natural effect by allowing infiltration between the green texture and facilitates the discharge of rainwater.

• Terrace Uses

– Some of the terraces are intended for communal use, while others are allocated to the apartment. Communal terraces provide large, spacious and scenic socializing areas for various events (meals, celebrations…), especially for apartments without a view.

– While detached houses have barbecues in their own gardens, for those in apartment blocks, barbecue areas have been designed on communal terraces to prevent intense and unpleasant odors.
