At the same time, care has been taken not to interrupt the view of the masses from each other and the cool breeze coming from the sea. Recreation areas have been added to the areas located between the masses Dec The floor heights of the masses are determined according to the function that the space will have and the number of people it will have. Eaves have been added to the entrance of each function to match the regional architecture, and flowers have been positioned. Sound and light games were performed with the eaves added to the buildings. At the same time, open- semi-open spaces have been created.
The masses are made of glass, wood and stone to provide indoor and outdoor permeability. Surfaces that are glass can be completely opened and turned into closed spaces only.
