TEPE by APOLLO Architects & Associates

The location house, which has a striking exterior that broadly protrudes, stands on a small hill. This house, which means “hill” in Turkish, is built next to the house of the residents’ parents and has become a symbolic building for the neighborhood. The parking lot and approach-stairs are located at the front side of the site and provide access to the hill-top entrance. Since most of the site is sloped, the protrusion of the house characteristically floats via steel frames while a flat surface supports its groundwork. Cross-sectional ingenuities are employed in many places, such as in the creation of a storage space under the floor by utilizing the depth of the groundwork that is used to help support the counterweight of the cantilever.
