The multi-layered historical and natural structure of Antakya, which has been an important settlement area in every period of history, played an important role in the emergence of spatial and architectural formation. Habib-i Neccar Mountain and Asi River, which are the basic elements of the geographical structure of the city, have been decisive in this formation. Within the scope of the project, the main principle is the design that is articulated to the river and the surrounding urban spaces with its open, semi-open and closed spaces that take shape and work together with the river.
While making these decisions, urban spaces were created within the framework of the urban protected area, in harmony with nature, at the intersection of the river axis with the reflections of the past urban traces of Antakya.
