Architecture and Design Concept

Batıyakası’s masterplan emphasizes human-scale, low-rise blocks arranged to maximize daylight, views and green corridors. The design integrates an open-air retail street and social spine that connects residential clusters with community amenities. Key features include large balconies and terraces, landscaped courtyards, dedicated work-from-home areas, and a “green and blue” design philosophy that leverages the adjacent lake and extensive planted areas.

Unit Types and Floor Plans

Unit mix ranges from efficient 1+1 layouts to spacious 5+1 family homes. All units are designed with generous outdoor space (balconies/terraces), panoramic windows, open-plan living areas and practical circulation to support family living, remote work and rental flexibility.

Location Advantages: Why Kartal?

Investment Rationale
