Situated on Çamlıca, the highest hill in Istanbul, the project occupies an elongated site between two streets in an area once characterized by landscaped gardens and Ottoman-era villas. Designed as the headquarters of Selçuk Ecza, one of Turkey’s major pharmaceutical companies, the building was conceived with a strong sensitivity to its surroundings.

The architectural approach avoids imposing a large-scale presence on the neighborhood. Instead, the design adopts a measured proportion and a calm, understated character that align with the residential texture of the area. By responding to both the historical context and the natural landscape, the headquarters integrates seamlessly into its setting while providing the functional clarity and spatial efficiency required of a contemporary corporate building.
