This unique residential project sits in southern Turkey adjacent to the Aegean Sea. The brief was to create a new residential destination that celebrates "Mediterranean living" by maximizing usable outdoor space through balconies, terraces, gardens, parks and plazas. The MLP is orientated to allow maximum south light into the scheme and creates a series of "external rooms" linked by an informal route with an outdoor pool and recreation area at each end. The low rise apartments range from 3 to 6 story's with a 30 story tower anchoring the site on a high profile corner. The MLP is raised on a podium to allow for basement parking and to create 4000m2 of commercial space to the busy Northern street edge.
