Kahramanmaraş Auto Complex + Showroom

Located in Yenişehir, Kahramanmaraş, the project site lies adjacent to the ring road that connects the city to Kayseri and Gaziantep. Its strategic position near Kahramanmaraş Airport and direct links to major arterial roads render it a highly accessible and commercially vibrant node within the urban fabric.

Programmatic Distribution Anchored by Accessibility

The project’s spatial organization is defined by the varying user profiles and their interaction frequencies with different programmatic zones. Functional clusters are arranged based on their dependency on vehicular or pedestrian access:

• The Finance Zone, with minimal user circulation, is positioned alongside the ring road for direct, limited-access use.
• Central Social Facilities such as dining and gathering spaces are located in a pedestrian-focused area that serves office workers and commercial visitors.
• The Auto Service Unit is integrated with showrooms and display zones, occupying open, flexible plots to accommodate logistics and maneuvering requirements.

These decisions are informed by a hierarchy of access—from major arterials to secondary and tertiary internal roads—ensuring smooth vehicular and pedestrian flow while delineating zones of activity.

Resilience-Oriented Parking and Circulation Strategy

Considering the presence of liquefiable soil strata, all parking solutions are implemented at grade level. Surface-level parking zones are distributed throughout the site to enhance safety and provide ease of access. Additionally, specific drop-off and loading zones are provided for key functions, minimizing congestion and maximizing operational efficiency.

A loop circulation route ensures that vehicles arriving from outside—especially those destined for servicing—do not interfere with the internal functional layout. Large transport vehicles carrying parts or incoming cars can directly access the service zone via dedicated isolated parking, preserving spatial order and security.

Climate-Informed Spatial Configuration

Benefiting from high solar exposure throughout the year, the complex adopts orientation and shading strategies that respond to the strong summer sun. Wind patterns from the northwest, prevalent in spring and autumn, are considered in cross ventilation and microclimate design, ensuring thermal comfort for open and semi open spaces.

Functionality, Security, and Operational Logic

Sensitive functions such as banks and notaries are intentionally kept away from internal circulation, with vehicular access restricted to external users only offering enhanced control and security. The resulting design is a flexible, transit-integrated commercial and service hub that balances operational efficiency, safety, and spatial legibility.
