KAYA

The Kaya is a high end premium apartment building in the heart of the city’s residental zone. The challenge was to create a building which responded to the site geometry, while creating a healthy open space relationship with the units, all within a dense fabric of existing houses and streets.

The design response was to create 2 wings with a central open space which housed the circulation core and opened up on the ground level with a green entrance space. Double height staggered balconies create an interesting facade, while the central open space ensures a visually ‘light’ architecture, connecting different floors.
