. Alba Tower Residences

Rising to a height of 120 meters across 27 stories, this striking residential tower redefines contemporary living in İzmir. Designed to become a new icon in İzmir’s skyline, the tower seamlessly integrates dynamic urban energy with refined residential comfort. The tower’s design is distinctly contemporary, standing out with its refined architectural style amid the visual noise of its surroundings. While avoiding over-design, it maintains a strong presence through its striking form and a carefully composed facade. Its vertical rhythm and clean lines contribute to a bold yet understated elegance, reinforcing its role as a defining element in İzmir’s evolving skyline.

The podium level serves as a vibrant hub, hosting a selection of commercial spaces, wellness and lifestyle amenities, and an exclusive spa, offering residents a comprehensive lifestyle experience. Above, the residential floors exemplify modern elegance, offering thoughtfully designed living spaces that maximize natural light and panoramic sea views. By merging high-end residential amenities with dynamic public engagement at the podium level, the project embodies a sophisticated urban vision, one that balances exclusivity with accessibility, and iconic form with functional living.

. Design Features

In response to regulatory guidelines and client expectations, the structure initially presented a robust mass with thick proportions. The design strategy focused on creating the illusion of a slimmer and taller building. To achieve this, the mass was divided into three distinct sections, with emphasis placed on the central volume. The symmetrical arrangement of the building reinforced harmony in its proportions.

The central mass is enhanced with carefully designed landscaping, integrating greenery into the architecture to emphasize its verticality.At the top, striking penthouses were incorporated to offer a luxurious, elevated living experience. Architectural elements on the façade, including wing-like projections, further enhance the building’s vertical expression, drawing attention to the design’s key highlights while strengthening its visual impact.
