URBAN BLOCK 6
The location of the project area, which is located in the center of Antakya and called Urban Block 6, is one of the main elements of the project design process. Urban Block 6 is parallel to Fatih Street, one of the busiest streets in the center of Antakya. This parallelism serves as a gate to enter the center from Fatih Street in the project. According to the master plan, the intersections on the street made possible the permeability and reception points at the core of the project.
We accept the outer lines coming from the Antakya central master plan and ensure the permeability in the project by breaking down these outer lines.
It is designed to provide a more comfortable entrance to the main arteries, secondary pedestrian roads and squares in the project and the commercial units created on the ground floor. In the three parcels on Island 6, different square setups and connections between squares were made. As seen in the history of Antakya, the road setups here are aimed at a circulation unique to Antakya by creating fluidity by using surprise corners and connecting these corners by using different angles, not straight. Thus, users can easily adapt to the project area and transition to a public space.
The block and bazaar locations are designed according to the prevailing wind directions in the region. Since the location of the buildings is designed to create a shadow in the bazaar area, this will be comfortable for users. Considering the climatic conditions in the Antakya region, this approach will have a positive impact on users.
There are a total of three parcels on Island 6. Total in the three parcels here, there are:
• 11 blocks,
• 427 residential independent units,
• 10.271 m² commercial area
Two blocks (in plots 1-2) located at the corners of the plots are basement + ground + 6 floors, seven blocks are designed with basement + ground + 5 floors, the remaining two blocks are designed with 2 basements + ground + 5 floors. The total construction area in the project is calculated as 88.419 m².
