Effective urban regeneration in Topkapı 29
Parks, shopping streets, offices, a five-star hotel and residences and a Lifestyle Centre combine to create a major new attraction in this historic part of Istanbul. A perfect complement to the major residential community at the heart of the masterplan.
Innovative architectural solutions
A two-level retail street provides active frontage to the south of the project and wraps around the central residential community. By making use of the level changes the retail street creates two ground levels sinuously flowing from the Metro Plaza in the west to the Lifestyle Centre in the east. The curved forms of the street podium provide a balanced and visually dynamic contrast to the more rectilinear forms of the residential buildings above. A wide variety of beautifully landscaped urban spaces result from the forms of the buildings, including a series of event plazas.
Multi-function Lifestyle Centre
Facing out onto the new public park to the east of the masterplan and connected directly to the shopping street is the vibrant Lifestyle Centre. This unique multi-function mixed-use destination has a 'U' shaped covered street which leads to a multi-level event plaza. The central building contains a diverse array of boutique shopping, markets, restaurants and leisure facilities.
