Situated at a region where has been developing into an urbanized part of Ankara in recent years, West Gate is a mix-use development composed of 3 residential blocks and a retail podium base underneath the blocks.The base offers new living areas for the public with its inviting entrance and near position to Eskişehir Road.
The "Central Courtyard",which is formed by the angular layout of residential blocks, constitutes the main design decision of the project. While the cafe-restaurants around the 6500 m² court create a positive and pleasant atmosphere for people, the shopping units provide all kinds of needs of life.
101 and 112 meter-high blocks offering unique views of the city are designed to become scenic objects themselves. Plus, life has been enriched at these residential buildings with the social areas at floor gardens and view terraces.
West Gate offers a brand-new living area to its userswith its courtyard and the social equipment formed around it, the common use scenarios emerging from the residence concept and its landscape design. The rhythm between the blocks and the narrowing effect on their façades as they rise create a powerful visual image for the entrance of the city of Ankara.
