New York firm REX have completed two office buildings in Istanbul, Turkey, where one is built inside the other. The design was created for two Turkish sister companies: fashion house Vakko, and television and radio company Power Media. The Vakko Fashion Center and Power Media Center transformed the abandoned skeleton of an unfinished hotel project in Istanbul to create one of the most significant new additions to Turkey’s contemporary architectural landscape. The original concrete structure couldn’t be hidden so it was clad in glass to permit views through to the inner building, made up of stacked mirrored boxes. Very cool.
