AN URBAN HABITAT ON DARAĞAÇ
This project is a project designed for an artist couple in a second-grade art and design studio located in the Umurbey Neighborhood of Izmir. Umurbey Neighborhood, also known as "Darağaç", is located at the southeastern end of Izmir Bay, which is mainly an industrial and commercial area. The user profiles in this project are one of them (a woman) is a drama writer and the other (a man) is a theater actor. In addition, this couple is interested in dance and music. A public stage and private areas where they can get inspiration were designed for this couple on the ground floor of their house. This stage will also contribute to the public space "Darağaç Initiative". People who come to watch various theater plays will recognize Darağaç and perhaps provide support to this initiative. This couple will be able to use their house as both a public space and a private space. This is an important point in the life of an artist. In this project, it has tried to solve how the private area and the common areas can be separated. A living area has been designed for the couple, while a fully public common area on the ground floor is on the upper floor. In addition, a retractable roof has been designed in the courtyard to solve the problem of sunlight and air circulation. In short, this project is a project designed for an artist coupled with the solution of a common area and private areas in Darağaç, which has a special location in Izmir in terms of art.
