Aqua
Aqua is a landscape design for a new residential site in Izmir, Turkey. The project covers about 12,800 square meters and is divided into three parts: a middle area, a steep cliff area and a commercial area at the front facade. The plan supports multifunctional use and welcomes residents and visitors of different ages. Materials of different hardness were selected to suit the activities planned for each area. Contrasting forms, colors and textures separate the zones and enrich the landscape views. Water is used as a central element of the green space.
Aqua Landscape Design by Alp Esin was highlighted as an innovative example of architectural design by the A' Design Awards. Aqua Landscape Design received the Iron A' Design Award in Landscape Planning and Garden Design in 2020. The A' Landscape Planning and Garden Design Award is an international, jury-voted, fair and ethical design award which recognizes exceptional design of landscape designs, public parks, residential gardens, urban plazas, campus designs, green roofs, waterfront developments, Eco-Parks, botanical gardens and more.
