TURKISH BASKETBALL FEDERATION HEADQUARTERS
TBF Headquarters Building is located in Zeytinburnu on a 13.685 sqm. site. The building, surrounded by Abdi İpekçi Sports Hall and Yedikule Ramparts, was designed in accordance with the context. The material choice, being in harmony with the historical ramparts, and brutal approach compose the language of the building. The building height and façade decisions are made considering the surrounding.
The terrace lying across the southeast façade develops a visual relation with the historical ramparts. The roof works as a skin covering the rectangular mass. The eaves extend in diverse dimensions over the facade. In this way, they generate different forms of shading in every direction. Sometimes they transform into structural walls by extending to the ground at some points.
