PROVINCIAL SPECIAL ADMINISTRATION DIRECTORATE SERVICE BUILDING

The Çanakkale Provincial Special Administration Service Building was designed as an aesthetic, functional, and contemporary public structure that enhances the representational power of local governmental institutions. The project adopts an architectural approach that contributes to the city’s identity and strengthens the interaction between local and central administration.

With its strategic location, sea-facing orientation, and accessibility as a public facility, the building holds a symbolic importance within the urban perception of Çanakkale. During the design process, the main goal was to create a civic building that serves as a model for the city, one that responds effectively to environmental data, and is inviting, transparent, and integrated with the public realm.

The architectural language was conceived to reflect an universal, contemporary, and rational design philosophy, symbolizing a forward-looking administrative identity. Accordingly, the design emphasizes the principles of openness, transparency, and accessibility.

Comprising three floors with a total enclosed area of approximately 10,000 m², the building was designed as a low-rise structure due to its sea-facing plot and location within the airport height restriction zone. The floor heights were optimized based on mechanical requirements, thereby reducing vertical circulation needs and enhancing structural efficiency.

In conclusion, the project aims to represent a public building with a strong civic identity, one that is environmentally responsive and reflective of a modern and transparent governance philosophy.
