AKARETLER ROW HOUSES

The historical Row Houses were constructed by Sultan Abdulaziz in the l870's to house the workers of the Dolmabahçe Palace; a symbol of the magnificence and decadence of the 19th-century Ottoman Empire. They can be called as the first example of public housing in Ottoman Empire. This set of residences are one of the best examples of the civil architecture of 1870's with their neoclassical front design, lacking the influence of earlier Baroque and Rococo styles.

These forms were the direct reflection of the first westernization moves, which effected the Ottoman Empire, not only in fields of science, art, agriculture and trade but on architecture and housing styles as well, in the first quarter of 19th century. Row Houses are the first examples of the change at the time, from traditional stonework/ wooden to stone or brick houses with 4-6 story row or block dwellings, detached houses with gardens. The architectural study of the Row Houses were completed by Sarkis Balyan.

Akaretler Row Houses Project is on 60.000 m2 area, 55.000 m2 of which is indoor and 5.000 m2 of which is outdoor.
