Dug into the earth and undulating through the urban landscape, Kanyon reinforces what its name implies. As one wanders through the environment, a captivating, three-dimensional adventure unfolds as people explore the ever-changing spaces, experiences and views.

The Residential shape cascades and terraces down into this carved and natural space. The Stone half-sphere bulges out of the earth, with its metal enclave, highlighting the dramatic performance space. The Tower soars to the sky. Juxtaposed together, these iconic shapes, though unique within themselves, appear together within the project as a family of forms, creating a unified vision and a landmark destination for the City of Istanbul.
