Project Highlight Award-winning design for ONS Incek showroom and sales office Yazgan Design Architecture’s work on the showroom for a residential property in Turkey wins the “Innovative Use of Color Award” at WAF 2015. THE SHOWROOM AND sales offices of the ONS Incek residential property development got judges excited during the World Architecture Festival 2015 held last November in Singapore. The showroom design went on to win the “Innovative Use of Color Award”. ONS Incek is a luxury residential project comprising three colourful towers with 992 residential units. The colourful showroom is located at the entrance to the project. Inside the multi-level showroom is a large scale model of the ONS Incek residential development displayed below the central atrium, making it a focal point. Also on display at the showroom are mock-ups of the apartment units. The showroom building is designed with its contours parallel to the inclined topography. Visitors are able to move comfortably within the showroom as it is connected by ramps, stairs and elevators. The private offices are located on the top floor while the residential complex models and sales associates are located at ground level. At basement level, three fully-furnished mockups of the apartments are displayed. The interior of the showroom is cladded with repetitive vertical coloured glass panels. With its multi-leveled exposed concrete structure, the showroom colour is predominantly medium grey. This creates a unified background for the colour of the glass panels to be more accentuated and visible from a distance. Colour is also of great importance to the overall design intent of the project as a whole. Each tower facade is wrapped with glass panels and is made up of six different tones of orange, green, or blue. The colours of the glass panels are the same colours used in the towers, visually connecting the showroom to the residential complex. The landscape is designed as layered ripples that descend while following the natural topography as if originating from the central amenities complex. The entire complex sits on 45,000 sq metres of manicured landscape with a number of individual gardens containing a wide variety of plants indigenous to Ankara, Turkey.
