Balaban Community Center is a mixed use building included office, residential and restaurant located in town of Balaban and planed to be really close to the new Istanbul airport.
SITE PLAN
The designed site plan complete with all the information necessary about the building. The building has two main entrances one is located at the north an the other one at the south of the building. Both of the main entrances are accessible for handicapped. The sites topology creates an elevation of 10 feet between east and west, but to make the building more accessible it's fully equipped with a ram. The 'L shaped building on the north west is going to be a town market, a place where the community of the town can buy and sell stuff. It is also designed with a huge parking, large enough to accommodate for both buildings. The building with the light pink color symbolizes the Mosque which is the center of the town. The other white buildings are houses. Then, the empty land located on the north east is planned to be a gift shop and cafe in the future. So, with all considerations taken the building will be very convenient not only for the people who are going to use it directly, but also for the community surrounding the building.
