Selcuk Avci and Sanja Jurca Avci established Avci Architects in London in 1989. In its first year, the practice won the top prize in the European Union biannual Energy Efficient Buildings Competition, a culmination of years of experience in sustainability, which set the tone for the direction of the practice. Although the practice specializes in many sectors in terms of programme, sustainability has become an underlying driving ethos, from the scale of regional masterplanning down to the design of a single product.
Avci Architects was established in 1989, by Selcuk Avci and with offices in London and Istanbul. The practice has always placed collaborative working at the top of their agenda, its founder being nurtured deeply in the ethos of integrated design teamwork. The creative process of every project is a shared experience amongst its team members, clients and stakeholders. The practice has been recognised with awards, both national and international, throughout its history. We were recently awarded the first prize in a competition to design the HQ of the Turkish Contractor's Association.

Vertical and horizontal shading elements are used to control the sun on the southern facades of the tower and lower blocks. A transitional buffer zone is introduced to act as a double facade of the office blocks. Occasionally sky gardens are placed facing this buffer zone to act as a vertical stack.
Balance Gneli was designed in 2011 and opened in late 2016, and no one would have imagined at that time the true value of a design approach that provided 'sky gardens' available to all office workers and residents. At that time making such a generous gesture seemed excessive but now looking back.
