MRTR project is located in Merter, one of the busiest districts in Istanbul . It is nested next to the highway  as a mid-rise building on an approximately 5800 sqm site.

The building is aligned to the site borders, cultivating the area as a single block, consisting of 7 mini blocks and 4 inner courtyards.

The sustainable design strategy consists of the following: natural ventilation viastrategic openings, maximum daylight useage and capturingdue to the floorplan shape, sunlight collection and control as a renewable energy source, plus a green and public space for social sustainability use.

Photo-voltaic panelsare cladded to capture it as a sustainable resource for energy and also protect from the high noise and wind of the site.

As for additional social land use, an elevated garden is accesible for users, creating valuable public space, which is exteremly difficult to find in the neighbourhood. Courtyards existing on elevated garden are strongly connected to the entry with escalators and elevators, whereas outdoor spaces with green are working as an easy to acces public space.

Green rooftop reduces CO2 emissions and balances heat levels on the rooftop. Rainwater  harvesting is another key element for the overall roof design.
