This is a hybrid project built by DAP Yapı on the shores of the Marmara Sea in Istanbul’s Kartal district. It houses flats, a hotel and a shopping mall. There are 5 blocks that rest on a pedestal, three of which have wavy façades. We used FİBRODEKOR® and FİBRO-MULTİFORM®. We developed moisture and wind proof materials for the façades that face the sea. FİBRO-MULTİFORM®’s flexibility suited the retracting wavy façades of the three blocks.

A Special Mould System Designed for Amorphous Forms

Shell panels with steel frames have amorphous surfaces and they cover the pediments of the terraces.

Istmarina has a unique plan with retracting wavy façades and the horizontal rhythm of the complex built with the FİBRO-MULTİFORM® technology.

We developed a special mould for each one of the panels and we assembled some of them at our plant to see their sustainability before the delivery. The most important detail was the junction of the façade panels with the glass guardrails. We hid the gutters behind the pediments of the terraces as these turned down and met the guard rails.

FİBROBETON®’s experienced staff solved the detail problems to get an impeccable aesthetic result and the technology we used gave rise to a unique and durable structure.
