Located in the historic and protected district of Istanbul’s Galata, Ipera is a modern residential complex. Designed by Alatas Architecture & Consulting, the ten-story apartment complex with total area of 1.100 square meters. Designed with respect to environmental conditions, infrastructure, and social and economic conditions in the region, the project offers a new perspective on private housing. Concrete walls and glass facade of a wooden shell look modern and high-tech amid modest buildings in the neighborhood. At a certain angle the building is completely closed, but in reality many bars filtered sunlight like giant shutters. All apartments have open-plan look very light and airy.
