Fethiye Shopping Center
Client: Fethiye Municipality
Location: Fethiye / Muğla
Type: Competition Project / Participant
Year: 2008
The Fethiye Shopping Center competition project proposes a spatial configuration integrating contemporary architecture with the natural environment. The wide and curved roof form with flowing horizontal lines defines the building’s dynamic and sculptural identity and acts as the main architectural element ensuring mass continuity.
The balance between light-toned façade panels and warm natural colors strengthens the contemporary character while softening the building’s relationship with its surroundings. Water elements, landscaped areas, and public open spaces in front of the building create a permeable threshold integrating the shopping experience with outdoor spaces.
The project is considered not only as a commercial building but also as a public focal point integrated into urban life through the wide stepped plaza in front. Accessible main entrances and functional mass organization optimize interior circulation, aiming to create a contemporary, social, and multi-layered urban center for Fethiye.
