Ankara Metropolitan Municipality Office Building
The project, with a construction area of 97,000 m², corresponds in size and program to a large office building or the headquarters of a major corporation. However, due to its public character and the diversity of its users, it brings unique challenges to the forefront.

Ankara Metropolitan Municipality Office Building
Within the program, in addition to office units, social facilities and a multipurpose conference hall, the Metropolitan Municipality Presidential Unit, UKOME Meeting Room, prayer room, and an indoor parking lot are planned within the project area. The office units are further subdivided into public relations-related units. Overall, the Metropolitan Municipality Service Building, with its prominent public character, creates open spaces for the city through its mass composition and aims to contribute to urban life.
The differing needs of all these program components, their distinct users, and their varied modes and times of use were thoroughly considered during the design process. When reducing the building’s scale, ensuring the legibility of the structure from the outside and the clear differentiation of the mentioned functions starting from the building’s approach became another pursued objective. The resolution of the hierarchical relationship among different program elements and the circulation of users inside and outside the building were addressed within this context, with careful attention to preserving the building’s public character and preventing any mutual interference between functions.
