A pair of towers that will serve as the headquarters for Turkey’s largest and oldest financial institution, the Ziraat Bank Headquarters will be in the center of the new Istanbul International Financial Centre (IIFF) that features over 400,000 square meters of office space drawing inspiration from the site’s rich architectural context. The silhouette of the structure creates a significant presence that distinguishes it from its neighbors. The form and façade give a nod to symbols and patterns from the Ottoman Empire, creating a modern building that still showcases the country’s rich history and roots. Designed by KPF with ALT working as the façade consultant, it is sure to become a vibrant and dynamic new addition to Istanbul’s skyline.
