Since 1952, Siyah Beyaz, located on the lower two floors of Kavaklıdere Street No:3, has been a well-known spot for hedonistic-minded residents of Ankara, with its bar and gallery. Even hedonists from other cities cannot resist stopping by herThe building, which looks almost as it was built as it appears from the road, represents a qualified average with its calm mass, balconies and dimensions befitting its place. We mainly focused on how to add a restaurant to this building without undermining its characteristics, and realized that we largely succeeded in achieving what we wanted with the question, ‘I didn't pay attention before, has this building always been here?’. Every building changes, transforms, additions are made, elements are removed. What matters is how it is done and what is preserved while all this is happening. I believe we managed to integrate a new section with the help of trees, plants, and sustainable traces of the building, without damaging the main structure.
