Despite the difficulties encountered in the construction process, most notably in time and budget, Studio Loft materialized as a new urban dwelling and working space typology with the additional function of being an exhibition place. Meeting the challenge of serving a triple function in the same space and time, this unique remodeling project stands out as an example of architectural wizardry. www.egemenyerce.com | www.za-as.com *Finalist in 'Creative Re-use' Category at World Architecture Festival INSIDE 2017 *Selected to Turkish Architecture Annual 2016 Location: İzmir, Turkey Design: Yerce Architecture & ZAAS Design team: Ayça Taylan, Nail Egemen Yerce Contractor: Nano İnşaat – Hilmi Aydın Niğdeli Area of project: 250 sqm Photographer: Yerce Art Photography - Emin Emrah Yerce Filmmaker: Can Tanyeli 14
