Active solar orientation (south) lie directly behind
the project. Hot and windy climate has been the
determining factor for those facts. Extensive use of open
space for each unit garden-terrace areas are formed.
Sky and horizon to seek to meet these areas and to get
more sun light in to the middle of courtyard, the structure
is moved to south direction for 2 meters on each floor.
This shift from the southern direction also provided to
create advantageous and effective sun shadow area.
The units has inner and outer spaces to use according
to different weather conditions. In addition to being in a
seafront location, courtyard sheltered areas has designed
to prevent houses from the wind of north. This courtyard
creates a space for each unit to meet up and disperse.

sustainability criteria. Emphasis was placed on the use
of passive climatic data. Orientation of the project was
creating shadows by using the sun’s angle of incidence.
Also by taking the advantage of the northern lights and
turning in to a positive part of this project. At the same
time, units with two fronts contributes to the interior
space ventilation meaning that two front-units can
benefit from this north-south air-ventilation. During the
winter, thermal energy is provided by geothermal
water. Fire water tanks and pool water is obtained by
the method of reverse osmosis. Widely used electric
power is also contribute from the common used wind
turbines in Çeşme. Structural system of concrete is a
