Bakirkoy housing blocks are located 1km South of TEM Highway and 3 km from Ataturk Airport, accessible via several public transportation lines either. The 13.152 m² site currently includes 2 large attached block, Project aims to transform these two blocks into healthier housing units and commercial areas on the ground floor. The plot is linearly laying through the area of almost 250 meters long among two busy roads of the neighborhood.

The relation with the neighborhood is crucial due to the previous functions of the existing residential development.
