AND Pastel Istanbul

Service Architecture GFA 190.000 m² Completion 2018 New urban centre. The AND Pastel residential complex provides new urban living space for around 3,000 residents. On the Asian side of the city, a new urban residential complex consisting of 4 high-rise buildings and 3 apartment blocks has been built on a former brownfield site in the Kartal district. From the center, the high points stagger to the outer perimeter of the block, with the varying facade design of the individual houses responding to the desire for individuality. The park-like exterior design offers residents a green oasis with a variety of uses and, with 70% green space, supplements the urban green space that is lacking, especially in this area of the city. The buildings are developed around a total of four courtyards that are interconnected to allow for both a lively neighborhood feel and privacy. A health center, kindergarten, retail, commercial and restaurants strengthen the social infrastructure. The building heights in the quarter vary between 25 and 160 meters. The facade character of the 4 high-rise buildings is reminiscent of a "woven basket".
