建筑外墙由两个独立的弹壳组成。由于外壳的原因，内部受到保护，不受恶劣的天气条件和噪音的影响。这种透明壳还充当室内和室外之间的缓冲地带，对结构解决方案有积极的影响。

The building façade consists of two independent shells. The interiors are protected from adverse weather conditions and noise on account of the outer shell. This transparent shell also serves as a buffer zone between the indoor area and the outside, and has a positive effect on structural solutions.

在两个贝壳之间创造的空间被用作每个公寓的花园和露台；每三层都是一个组件，有一个花园地板和两层可以俯瞰花园的楼层。在中庭周围有9套或更少的公寓，取决于每个单元的大小。居民们住在一座塔里，但他们有一种感觉，他们正在和近邻合住一栋三层楼的房子。就像在乡村或传统的伊斯坦布尔别墅一样，室内花园为生活在更高层次的人们提供了一个自然和温暖的环境。

The space created between the two shells is used as gardens and terraces of each apartment; every three floors is a component with a garden floor and two floors overlooking the gardens. Around the atrium there are nine or fewer apartments, depending on the size of each unit. Residents are living in a tower, yet have the feeling that they are sharing a 3-floor house with close neighbors. Its the same feeling t hey would have in country side or in a traditional Istanbul house, with the indoor gardens offering a natural and a warm setting for those living at higher levels.

花园区是自然通风通过百叶窗，把空气从较低的杠杆和推开它的顶部。百叶窗根据天气情况自动开启和关闭，内部温度几乎与外部温度相当，建筑的环境友好系统具有较低的能耗。

The garden zone is naturally ventilated though the louvers, taking the air in at lower lever and pushing it out at the top. The louvers automatically open and close according to weather conditions and the interior temperature is always almost equal to the exterior temperature. Environmental friendly systems of the construction grant low energy consumption.

从外面看，当建筑物向上上升时，它会变得更薄。在第四层，它向下扩展，覆盖建筑物表面的玻璃产生一种曲线，然后水平延伸，就像建筑物的裙子一样，用咖啡馆、餐馆和商店覆盖购物设施。这个区域被认为是一个多层，动态，大的单一空间，最大限度地受益于自然光。

When viewed from the outside, the building gets slightly thinner as it rises upward. At the fourth level, it expands downwards and the glass covering the surface of the building earns a sort curve and then extends horizontally as the skirt of the building, covering the shopping facility with cafés, restaurants and stores. This area is perceived as a multi-layered, dynamic, large single space, benefiting from the natural light to the maximum extent.

这座建筑的基本结构是由钢筋支撑的混凝土组成的。薄建筑形式是由两个核心在狭窄的两端支撑。垂直循环由14部电梯提供，其中8部为高速特快电梯。此外，还有8条传送带和13条自动扶梯。两部电梯可直接进入最顶层的观察台，私人通道可保护住宅的隐私。

The basic structure of the building is composed of concrete supported by steel elements. The thin building form is supported by the two cores at the narrow ends. The vertical circulation is provided by 14 elevators, eight of which are express elevators at high speed. In addition, there are eight conveyor belts and 13 escalators.
