Novron Belek Houses
2005 – completed 2007
The twin units, located in the tourism region of Belek, stretch along south north axis on a ribbon of land of 20 m width. The paradox of opening up the houses to the east, to where the street is, solved by an intermediate space created by the single storey kitchen units, creating a procession of spaces from common to private, folding back onto east – an ideal orientation in the hot climate of Antalya. The conventional logic of twins here is twisted to create a single unit out of two; to create public, semi-public and private domains, at the same time providing slender and horizontal proportions.
