Moment Beştepe is situated across the Presidential Complex in Ankara. This modern structure is composed of two office blocks. The FİBROBETON panels at the façade of this building look like coarse concrete and give it a wholesome effect. The designer is the Gökhan Aksoy Architects and is an impressive project with commercial units at the entrance floor.
The project foresaw an awning as an extension of the building shell in front of the commercial units. This structure became a social area for everyone, not only for the employees of the offices.
Innovative and Modern Practices
In this project, large scale transparent surfaces were created for the inner and outer spaces to interact with each other.
One of the innovative steps we took for this project was the implementation of the “dry wall façade system” which is new in our country. FİBROBETON panels with large surfaces gave a unified look to the project.
The large surfaces with the look of coarse concrete were made of FİBROBETON® panels on steel frames that covered a total of 5300 square meters of area. All insulation details were hidden behind the panels.
The surfaces of the blocks were composed of transparent glass with a height of 6 meters combined with FİBROBETON® panels of the same height.
The upper floors’ concave and convex glass façades were again united with wavy claddings creating the illusion of waves.
Durable Surface Protection
The panels were treated with a special surface protection, so that the whole façade would be resistant to pollution and to Ankara’s climatic conditions. The façade will not necessitate maintenance work for a long time.
