The new Vakkorama flagship store sits on Bagdat Avenue, one of the most important high streets of the Anatolian side of Istanbul. The new building is a unique retail addition to the high street in the heart of Istanbul’s fashion district.

Its design evokes both the essence of the Vakkorama brand, while it presents a contextually creative response aiming to create a contemporary landmark building in the area. One of the building’s key features is the open ground floor, a breathable urban layer that is filled with vegetation. The Ground floor is transformed into a small urban garden, presenting an element of surprise on the high-street level and a welcoming entrance point to the retail store. The ground-floor's open and public character includes 240 sq. meters of bar and cafe space with both indoor and outdoor spaces. On top of the ground-floor garden, the building features 1574 sq. meters of generous retail spaces that span on 5 levels, while the -2 level includes gym facilities. The building will present a three dimensional ribbed glass facade that will be an inviting and interactive face of the building towards the city.
