The building, located in the 934 m2 plot in Yelki (Güzelbahçe), shows itself with a linear plan between the ancient pine and olive forests surrounding it. The building, which lies on the parcel with a 240 cm elevation difference on the east-west axis, creates different spatial perceptions in the interior with its two and three-storey gallery spaces, and gives clues about the traces of the daily flow in the house. At this point, the structure turns into a scene integrated with nature, which is added to the daily life of its user.
The stage is extremely permeable and bright in common areas. Transparent glass facades in the large span continue along the two-storey gallery in the hall. The consoles of 4.5 meters on the south and west facades trace the sunlight's interior projection in different angles and elevations for four seasons. Reflections that turn into a separate visual effect in each component of the building (floors, gallery spaces, vertical surfaces, stairs, etc.) add natural environment to the interior with rich perspectives. Wide consoles produced by reinforcing steel beams into beam-free cork floors optimize sunbathing and provide shade in summer and allow sun rays to float inside in winter.
The volumes that appear under the reinforced concrete slab flooring, which reads itself throughout the structure, intertwine and intertwine, creating its own spatial flow while emphasizing spatial specialization by decomposing and becoming definite. The bare exposed concrete vertical surfaces in the interior transmit the structural anatomy to its user. The visual and tactile exploration of the initial state of the material in the natural process of construction paves the way for different perceptions in the bond to be established between the space and the individual. In the context of the user, the interior life and the relationship with the space are unusual from the ordinary with the unusual floor heights, the numerous reflections that occur in the interior, the naturalness of the material or structure, and the mobility created by the nested volumes.
The structure, which runs linearly on the east and west axes, consists of three floors, the lower floor, the upper floor and the first floor. It provides access to the lower ground floor with the entrance of the staircase, which goes down from the road level of +0.25 m. The wooden entrance staircase extending over 3 floors in bare exposed concrete meets the large entrance hall. The three-storey gallery space on which the staircase is suspended reinforces the spatial and visual connection between the floors. The guest bedroom and bathroom are positioned behind the entrance hall, while the kitchen and dining area are located on the left. From the area reserved for the dining table, the living area is enriched by a gallery two-storey high. Wide span facades and exposed concrete surfaces integrate with the gallery, creating a space-specific identity. The metal fireplace, hanging from the reinforced concrete cork floor and tangent to the western facade, physically warms the space and becomes a reference point for the interior as a visual object.
The pool, which is located on the west facade in the outdoor area, is also part of the view where the seating area is directed. The wooden teak floor used by the pool (A reflection of the teak floor used on the terrace floor also manifests itself on the ceiling of the outdoor console above it) prepares a soft floor for the transition between the water element and the green landscape. While the existing olive trees in the parcel are used in the new landscaping, green trees are strengthened by planting fruit trees such as lemon, orange and pine trees. The landscape area designed around the building provides the integration of the building into the said texture in the parcel surrounded by a dense green area.
The upper ground floor is accessed by a staircase that joins the entrance hall and joins it as an object that adds visual richness to the interior. This floor has a master bedroom, an en-suite bathroom, a dressing room, and two children's rooms and a bathroom. The intermediate space from the staircase overlooks the gallery space that surrounds the seating area. On the first floor of the building; In addition to the sauna, study, hobby rooms and terrace areas, there are places where the residential units (such as iron and laundry room) are located.
KorayArslan House, as a residential structure that represents its role in the depiction and shaping of daily life, settles as a fully exhibited object in its natural environment. Thus, in addition to being a scene where the natural flow of daily life is monitored, it also turns into a design object exhibited in this flow.
