Association of Turkish Notaries

• Ankara, Turkey
• 2009

The design philosophy underlying the plan of the Turkish Association of Notaries Building is the formation of a “communications environment”. The connections between the interior and exterior spaces strengthen the communication between the notaries and public, while creating a social working environment.

The building is a modern interpretation of the development of traditional caravansaray schema which provides a contemporary and efficient workisng environment for the users.

The atrium, consisting of the conference hall foyer, the entrance, the exhibition hall and the floor bridges, forms a visual and functional mass connecting the social and the working areas with interior garden. The clarity of the building planning opennes to perception, provision to continuity between the spaces and transparency are factors that were constantly highlighted at each stage of design.
