The Avrupa Kale Residences are luxury apartments situated in the European side of Istanbul. Its 10-story tower blocks have views of Topkapi Park to the east as well as the Golden Horn at a distance and the Marmara Sea to the south.
The modern architecture is perfectly at harmony with the beautifully ornate landscaping around the tower blocks that make the design of the complex as a whole stand out against the surrounding landscape. The residential gardens are complete with diverse plant life from palm trees and lawns to olive trees and small neatly trimmed hedge rows. It’s both wonderfully diverse and sustainable due to the native plants used which lowers maintenance needs as well as cutting back on irrigation and the need for pesticide use.
Hardscape features are a big aspect of the landscape, with ornate pools and water fountains being placed between the shrubs and lawns to give a sense of luxury as well as calming sounds of flowing water for the residents who wish to enjoy the natural experience of the gardens.
