Designboom - AHK KNDU VILLAS

In the turkish resort city of antalya, GAD architecture is developing a sustainable community that will eventually comprise more than 100 residential units. situated on the country’s mediterranean coast, each ‘AHK KNDU villa’ will include integrated photovoltaic panels to produce energy, while the masterplan allows each dwelling to benefit from abundant daylight throughout the day.

GAD architecture has strategically positioned façade and roof openings to encourage ventilation. meanwhile, the project’s sustainable design strategy also ensures maximum daylight usage, solar power as a renewable energy source, and green public space for social-sustainability use.
