Zenel 是一栋 14 层高的住宅楼，位于伊斯坦布尔亚洲一侧的 Erenk?y 高级住宅区。它靠近充满活力的巴达特大道，该大道从东到西长约 14 公里，几乎与马尔马拉海海岸线平行。与老伊斯坦布尔不同的是，这个相对较新的街区由巴达特大道的东西轴线形成网格状格局。 Zenel, a 14-story residential building, is in the upmarket residential neighborhood of Erenk?y, on Istanbul’s Asian side. It is near the vibrant Ba?dat Avenue that runs for about 14 km from east to west, almost parallel to the Sea of Marmara coastline. Unlike old Istanbul, this relatively new neighborhood has a grid pattern formed by the east-west axis of Ba?dat Avenue.

Unlike old Istanbul, this relatively new neighborhood has a grid pattern formed by the east-west axis of Ba?dat Avenue.
The ground plane of the site follows the “Ba?dat Grid” so it is parallel to the avenue, while the sky plane of the building is rotated to face towards the Prince Islands, an archipelago 10 km south of the Marmara Sea coast. The building from top to bottom is torqued between these two forces, the Ba?dat Grid and the view to Prince Islands, creating an effect of a crystallized molten rock.
Traditionally, buildings have a tripartite organization associated with classical columns. The base, the shaft, and the top. Here, the reflective pool and the sky act as elements that hide the virtual base and the virtual capital. This in-between state amplifies the transition from top to bottom initiated by the torque force. The detached shaft appears like a rock that is rugged and weathered on the outside yet so sparkly and polished on the inside. This creates a duality of time in which the archaic and the new are juxtaposed.
