African project
Tosyali Holding Company Headquarters – Algeria
A
n alive identity has been enabled by creating an inner world with the
support of an inner court, landscaping and water elements inside the
building which are situated in a massive factory field and which has an
environment not suitable for providing architectural connections. The
façade components of the building, of whose design determinations
are formed by a fact of simplicity, are regarded as the most important
architectural factors under the influence of the climatic characteristics of
its geographical position. In this regard, the woodwork is highlighted as
structural elements both dynamizing the structure and having a shading
function.
The materials selection of Tosyali Holding Company Headquarters, which is aimed to
have a modern architectural identity without losing its harmony with the cultural context
of the location it is settled, is regarded as a fundamental factor in the pursuit of localness.
Instead of clunky and garish materials, the mass integrity of the construction is generated
by materials which will emphasize the simplicity.
Tosyali Holding Company Headquarters is constructed from 5 blocks: 3 main blocks, 1
entrance block and 1 core block. Two of the main blocks consist of administrative floor
and open and closed offices, on each of which there are 4 office floors; and in the 3rd
main block, a single-storey separable-system conference hall with 200-person capacity is
positioned.
