AVLU Office and Residential Project has been designed with a mixed-use approach that brings work, life and social interaction together under one roof. Located on a total area of 21,000 m², the project consists of two blocks with a ground floor + 5 upper floors. The 71 offices and 18 commercial units within the project have been planned to meet the needs of users at different scales. With a total of 71 offices and 22 different office types across Blocks A and B, AVLU offers a rich variety of layouts that adapt to changing working habits and businesses of different scales. Office options ranging from 57 m² to 223 m² appeal to a broad user profile, from entrepreneurs to corporate companies, while the 15 duplex offices within the project provide prestigious and distinctive working environments.
AVLU offers a strong infrastructure that addresses the daily needs of business life not only on the office floors but throughout the entire building. A covered parking area with a total capacity of 160 vehicles across two basement levels provides convenient access and parking for users and visitors, while a total of 90 independent archive rooms, each measuring 4.30 m² and distributed across two floors, offer dedicated solutions for the storage and documentation needs of the offices. Access to the building is supported by a total of three separate entrances, two in Block A and one in Block B, with the aim of organizing user circulation in a more orderly, accessible and functional manner.
The courtyard layout at the heart of the project creates a strong public focal point between the two blocks, defining a social gathering space that brings users together. In the landscape design, open areas supported by layered planting, seating areas and pedestrian routes create high-quality outdoor spaces where users can take a break from the intensity of the working day; meanwhile, the centrally positioned elevator core and amphitheater steps stand out as important spatial elements that strengthen user circulation.
The organically shaped canopy system designed between the two blocks is conceived not merely as a covering element, but as a strong focal point that defines the architectural identity of the project. With its fluid geometry directing pedestrian movement, the structure unifies the courtyard while providing shade throughout the day and, at night, creates an iconic public-space experience highlighted by lighting elements. Bringing landscape, architecture and social life together within a single composition, AVLU has been designed as a contemporary mixed-use project that introduces a new perspective to working and living culture.
Avlu Project | Design Concept and Story
Avlu Project has been designed as a mixed-use focal point that reinterprets urban life through work, commerce and social use, drawing its natural reference from the olive grove setting of the site. The main idea of the project is based on configuring offices and commercial units not merely as independent spaces, but as an integrated whole that is organized around a shared courtyard, supports interaction between different uses and remains active at different times of the day.
The Cretox material used on the exterior gives the building a raw and monolithic character, while the radial effect of the facade lends the project a strong, simple and contemporary expression. This cohesive facade language reinforces the building's plaza-like presence while creating a visible and memorable architectural identity within its surroundings.
An active ground-floor environment has been targeted; supported by shops, restaurants and cafés, the courtyard has been conceived as a gathering point that remains lively beyond working hours. Inspired by the organizational logic of a shopping center, this approach combines the outdoor experience with commercial and social uses, inviting users not only into the building but toward the center of the courtyard.
The location of the project carries strong potential on a regional scale. Its position approximately 100 meters from Onikişubat Municipality and the Courthouse, together with the concentration of administrative and public uses in the surrounding area, creates a demand for high-quality office space. In response to this need, Avlu Project aims to become one of the new focal points along the city's administrative axis.
Entrances, pedestrian paths and the outdoor-space layout have been planned to naturally direct user flow toward the courtyard. The landscape design strengthens the relationship with the olive grove context while being developed with a sustainable environmental approach that supports the building's positive-energy target.
The canopy, designed as a prominent architectural element in the outdoor space, is conceived not merely as a shading or transitional element, but as an inviting interface that draws people into the courtyard, guides them and emphasizes the social center of the building. In this way, Avlu Project has been shaped as a vibrant and strongly identifiable part of the city that brings working life and urban life together in one place and remains active throughout the day.
