*워킨 호텔 [ Cinici Architects ] WORKINN

이스탄불 외곽, 게브제 위성도시에 위치한 호텔 프로젝트는 산업단지와 배후 주거지역 그리고 이러한 도시공간을 연계하는 고속도로 인터체인지가 인접한 곳에 자리한다. 이러한 장소적 특징은 호텔의 고유한 캐릭터 구현과 인지성 확보를 각인 시킨다.

L-형태의 장중한 볼륨은 호텔의 외형적 특징을 적나라게 표출하는 동시에 상부 객실부의 효율적인 배치를 통한 각 세대간 프라이버시 및 뷰의 확보를 이끈다. 12,000㎡ 면적, 162 객실로 이루어진 호텔은 구조적으로 크게 2개의 메인 볼륨으로 구분된다. 2개층으로 이루어진 저층부; 포디움층은 호텔 내 각종 공용부가 위치하며 투숙객들의 편안한 휴식과 레크레이션을 제공한다. -로비, 바, 레스토랑, 미팅룸 등이 위치한다.-

상층에 위치한 객실부는 총 3가지 타입으로 스탠다드형, 고급형, 스튜디오형으로 구성 L-형태 속에 정렬된다. 각 객실의 소통공간이자 호텔의 파사드는 사전공장제작된 화이트 콘크리트 패널을 이용, 호텔의 고유한 캐릭터를 구현한다.

Workinn is the first hip hotel in Gebze, located within TAYSAD organized industrial site (TOSB) at the outskirts of Istanbul in a recently established suburban center ‘Cayirova’. The 162 bed hotel utilizing 12 000 m2 closed area, resides nearby a busy traffic interchange connecting the campus with a transeauropean motorway. Being so close to roadways thus creating the atmosphere of a stopover hotel helps in keeping memory of a temporary accommodation alive. The hotel is commissioned and managed by Uyar Group.

Tectonically the building is divided into two main parts; ‘The base’-  2 storey high accommodating the lobby, bar, restaurant and meeting rooms, and the ‘white mass on top’ – comprising three different types of rooms – standard rooms, executive rooms, studio flats. The distinguishing tectonic character of the L-shaped white mass in plan is its facade built out of giant prefabricated concrete panels where the windows are treated merely as intervals in between.

The Building which is designed to be energy efficient has been rewarded with a Leed Gold certificate. Water efficiency, solid waste recycle, use of local materials is just a few of the areas that have been carefully evaluated within the design in order to produce an environmentally friendly building. Some main implementations are listed below:

•In order to reduce heat in roofs and hard landscape, materials which have higher reflection rates are used where as in order to increase the green areas car parking area is planned in the basement. So that %20 of the land is used as green space.

•In order to save rain water and to feed underground water sources, the water collected on site is being used as landscape irrigation source.

• %90 of the construction waste produced is utilized.

• %15 of the materials which are used in construction is re-cycled.

• Energy costs are reduced by %22 with the usage of energy efficient systems such as: natural lighting and natural cross ventilation, low-e glass use, solar water heating, use of highly efficient lighting fixtures, and use of %30 increased heat transmission coefficient for the walls etc.

•No CFC based heating or cooling is used in order to prevent damage to ozone layer.

The interior design of the hotel is subtle and modern which is held by DEER Architects in coordination with Çinici Architects.

In its industrial landscape, surrounded by busy roads this white mass rising above green walls is not only very inspiring but also welcoming. Opened in August 2013, Workinn is an architectural artifact which is going to pioneer the nearby developments around both in terms of esthetics and with its sensibility to environment.
