The magnificent structure that you are looking at in the above picture is the recently designed residential building called the NLF. Just by looking at it, you can say that its architecture is truly brilliant. It is a perfect combination of art and science. NLF has been designed by GAD Architecture, an Istanbul and New York based company. This building has been designed to be built on the main road in Nilufer in the district Bursa, Turkey and connects Bursa and Nilufer to both east and west directions.
It has been designed to become an important landmark. Its corridor also accommodates a railway system and you can find several shopping centers nearby. As NLF is an important building, it has been made higher than the other buildings around. The design of NLF has been properly planned. The total site area of the building is 2,250m and the construction area is around 40,000m. All the important facilities like houses, offices, retail space, restaurants, and areas for social activities have been made available here.
The height of the building is 137.5m and it consists of 32 floors. Of these 32 floors, the lower three floors are reserved for retail space and other five floors are for offices. Rest of the floors are for residential purposes. The building also includes a helipad and a restaurant. The main attraction of the building is its shape. It has been given a shape of a turning ellipse. The superb design is such that it creates a unique visual experience. Interestingly, the shape of NLF depends on the angle from which you view the building. This means you can find it new every time you approach it.
The houses have been given large balconies that have been made of composite wood louvers. These balconies add a major charm to the building. Such planned buildings are the true need of the world. They are very efficient in accommodating the ever-increasing population. They look beautiful and create warm and comfortable living spaces.
