AN ENVIRONMENTAL AND NATURE FRIENDLY DESIGN: KUZU EFFECT AVM





AN ENVIRONMENTAL AND NATURE FRIENDLY DESIGN: KUZU EFFECT AVM

 

Today, as T-COD Architecture, we would like to talk about KUZU Effect AVM, the first green building of Ankara. Let's take a look at the architecture of LAMB Affect with its features that distinguish it from its peers.

 

Adding an eye-catching value to the silhouette of the city, KUZU Effect AVM was designed and built as a project that includes a bazaar, residence and office. The building, which serves as a bazaar, residence and office residences from 1+1 to 5+1, with usage areas from 80 m2 to 408 m2, and offers offices in different sizes depending on the needs. The building offers various activities such as indoor and outdoor swimming pools and a gym. The most important feature that distinguishes KUZU Effect AVM from its peers is the nature and environment-friendly development of the project. The project, which is associated with the forest in both its west and south, has become Ankara's largest project with LEED GOLD certification.

 

A LIFE WITH NATURE

 

All existing trees were preserved in the design and construction of the KUZU Effect Project. A green area of 19,000 m2 has been provided with its protected trees and terraces considered as green roofs. The project, designed as an environmentally friendly building that protects human health, stands out with its energy and water efficiency. The building, which consumes very low energy compares to similar projects, consumes less energy than buildings with an area half the size of itself. 60% local materials were used in the construction of the building. Recyclable materials are also used in the production of steel, aluminum, concrete and glass. At the same time, the building also treats all wastewater. LAMB Effect consumes 24% less energy than the world average and produces 39% less greenhouse gases.

 

The project, which has achieved great gains in energy, economy and environment, welcomes its guests with its simple and characterful architectural language.
