About this project
Developed in collaboration with UNICEF, this project brings together advanced light gauge steel (LGS) construction and child-centric architectural design to build safe, nurturing spaces in Turkey. Spanning 294 m² across 8 dedicated lodges, the complex leverages high-strength cold-formed galvanized steel profiles to deliver superior thermal efficiency, acoustic comfort, and maximum structural safety.
By utilizing TheoSteel’s industrialized manufacturing and off-site assembly methods, construction time and material waste were drastically reduced. All 8 structural frames were fully erected in 30 days, leading to complete handover within 50 weeks.
