Residential Scheme Istanbul

Swanke Hayden Connell Architects (SHCA) has completed its 92-unit residential Bomonti complex in a neighbourhood area of central Istanbul.

The project was undertaken for the Extensa Group, a European property developer whose headquarters is in Belgium, which originally commissioned SHCA to provide a master-plan for a 2.4 hectare site which includes several development plots and an existing organic market.

The aim of the project was to design a "low-rise rather than high-rise" building that is respectful to the surrounding context as well as maximizing the saleable floor area within the local permit regulations,” said Nick Birchall, head of the SHCA Istanbul office.
