This retail center offers a 3.5 km2 plot surrounded by forest just outside the city. Among zoning for several residential estates, the retail center aims to integrate within the landscape and serve as an ‘Eco-Lifestyle Center’. The anchor of the center is not a traditional retailer, but a partially enclosed series of botanical gardens that celebrate nature and biodiversity with retail merging inharmoniously. The spatial experience showcases nature while focusing on being a compelling, timeless, and sustainable concept that takes advantage of the richness of the site and its unique position in Istanbul.
