Double skin facades are building envelope systems composed of two parallel layers separated by an air cavity. This approach manages thermal performance, natural ventilation, and solar gain while creating visual and spatial complexity. The technique bridges functional engineering with architectural expression.

The community explores double skin applications across residential retrofits, cultural institutions, and new construction, examining how layered facades respond to environmental conditions, create transitional spaces, and transform building identity through material choices like perforated metal, wood screens, and living systems.

Revitalization of Ankara Castle

The project gently evolved by taking references from the natural sloped landscape laying under the grand fortification walls of Ankara Castle, where the collective memory lives for centuries. The building itself became an experience that evokes the memory of the historical layers, the local people; and praises the grandness of walls by revitalizing Ankara.

THE CLUSTER

Inspired by Andalusian 'Pueblos Blancos', The Cluster redefines hospitality by fragmenting the hotel into breathable modules. Replacing enclosed corridors with open-air streets, it ensures resilience. A permaculture path filters water while stained glass filters light, creating a holistic ecosystem where local heritage meets sustainable living.
