TECHNOLOGY
COMPANY CAMPUS
ERA ARCHITECTS
Located between major highways of Istanbul, D-100 and TEM, in the
proximity of Sabiha Gökçen Airport in Pendik, Istanbul, the project
transforms an old industrial chemical factory land into a technology
company campus for one of the most dynamic Turkish banks.
Inspired by the natural topography around the site and the desire
of creating a clear contrast to the surroundings’ unorganized urban
fabric, a crystal volume as the main working environment is lying
gently over several artificial hills sheltering various functions such
as two 600 and 200 seats auditoriums, educational meeting spaces,
cafeterias, lounges on bridges, data center and many other functions.
With approximately 142,000 sqm total built area and 51,000 sqm
site are, the campus programme is configured into three major
sections: a 53,500 sqm open offices, a 16,000 sqm auditorium,
educational spaces and cafeterias, a 72,500 sqm for parking, a Tier
4 data center, a sport center, common spaces, archives and service
areas.
