Gamador Icon
Ankara / Türkiye, 2025

Comprising 434 1+1 residences and 2,780 m² of commercial space, Gamador Icon was designed with a modular system to adapt to different living scenarios. The building's load-bearing system was designed on an axis system that supports functional flexibility, enabling convertible solutions in floor plans.

​

The relationship between commercial and residential spaces is clearly defined through the separation of horizontal and vertical circulation. The retail units at ground level are connected to the city through permeable facades that accommodate pedestrian flow, while the residential mass rises as a compact block resting on a base. The social platform created between these two masses serves as an intermediate layer that both organises internal circulation and offers users an open-air experience.

The rhythmic modules used in the façade design visually support the building's serial production language, while sustainability criteria were taken into account in the choice of materials. Recyclable façade cladding created a long-lasting outer shell with low maintenance requirements.

​

The ground floor organisation, which focuses on pedestrian circulation, was considered in conjunction with shared commercial spaces. These areas were equipped with seating niches, semi-open canopies, and recreational units, offering a layered public experience that appeals to different user profiles.
