KAPPA TOURISM OFFICE

Kappa Tourism Office is located in the center of Göreme, one of the most important destinations in Cappadocia. Due to this context, it aims to offer the same experience by establishing a relationship with its surroundings and assimilating it. As a material, although exposed concrete seems separate and contradictory, a holistic and continuous surface was tried to be achieved.

Users feel the feeling and texture of creating a shelter by scraping in caves on the imperfect and amorphous surfaces shared by the office. Contrary to the furniture we are attached to, the load-bearing systems turn into continuous furniture on a human scale. However, again due to the texture of the building, it is differentiated by respecting the main landscape. While information about Cappadocia is received inside, there are also rooms where VR experience is offered for risky areas to enter using the same modern technologies, and at the same time, an indoor and outdoor bar section serves the users at the beginning and end of the journey.

The project got mansion award in 2022 at IM2021, Turkey.
