Technical Specs
Innovative in its design, construction, and many other aspects, Levent Sekoya is the district’s greenest office project and offers greater comfort as well as efficiency.
From Concept to Design
Professor Juan Pablo Molestina (M. Arch., BDA) has created the concept design, while Swanke Hayden Connell Architects (SHCA) has created the architectural design, meeting the criteria set by the LEED Certificate given by the US Green Buildings Council (USGBC).
Levent Sekoya is the first office building in Turkey to receive the LEED Gold certificate in the Core&Shell category, and was selected as one of three finalists from among 100 projects from 27 countries in the Green Buildings category of the 2011 MIPIM International Real Estate Awards.

Features beyond standards.
One of the most important features of Levent Sekoya Plaza building is the importance given to the health and comfort of the building users. This issue, which was given great importance also within the scope of the LEED evaluation system, was handled carefully within the project. The amount of fresh air delivered to the spaces inside the building, where 100% fresh air systems are used, has been kept well above international standards (ASHRAE 62.1). F7 type high performance filters are used in air handling units, and any dirt and dust are prevented from entering the air ducts, which are very carefully protected during manufacturing. In addition, with the flush-out works, the possible pollution was cleaned without settling in the building.
Construction Spotlight
Design Built
A comprehensive waste management plan was implemented during construction and over 90% of the waste generated during the construction was recycled.
Eco Friendly
Construction chemicals such as paints, primers, adhesives, epoxy and polyurethane used in the interiors of the building have been selected from those that are not harmful to human health, and are in compliance with LEED standards.
Air Conditioning
International standards (ASHRAE 55) were prioritized in the design of air conditioning systems. In addition, it was ensured that building workers were able to control the systems that provide thermal comfort.
