Turgutreis Community Center is a public investment intending to refresh a coastal town’s memory which has lost its 1970s elegant fishing town characteristic by tourism, retiree migration, and annuity housing transformation; besides seeking solutions for changing city demands over time.

While the initial design brief was limited to a typical multi-story car park planning to increase the parking capacity of the town; the building design program has been reassessed with local authority and more efficient architectural expression has been aimed.

Design that revives the neighboring park landscape and also covers over itself; that hides a multi-story car park inside the building core; that includes craftsman ateliers and market halls enabling both local people and tourists to experience the local food/restaurant, has 8.000m² enclosed space.

The project is going to be an alternative gathering and activity location with more than 15.000m² open-use area.
