Set in the historic Kahramanmaras of Southeastern Turkey, the Piazza Maras retail center pulls inspiration from the wooded mountains to the north of the city. Careful consideration was given to the selection of locally sourced materials which were used to complete both the project’s interior and exterior.
The center is organized into a sequence of unique districts connected via covered passages. Combining a variety of shops, restaurants and entertainment offerings, the center features outdoor cafes, open kitchen concepts and a large dining terrace on the fourth level, all under an expansive wood and glass sky-lit ceiling.
