WIREFRAME HABITAT – ISTANBUL
Set on a steep sloping terrain in a transforming district of Istanbul, this mixed-use complex blends residential and public functions within a unified structural grid. The wireframe serves as both the load-bearing system and a generator of spatial variety, allowing the architecture to grow organically. Public and semi-public spaces are linked through a covered path that weaves across levels, using the site’s natural topography to inform both circulation and façade articulation.
