This project proposes a multi-functional housing model located in Kayseri, Talas, an area characterized by its proximity to universities, residential neighborhoods, and developing urban life. The design aims to bring together different user profiles—students, families, and elderly residents—within a shared living environment that supports diversity, interaction, and flexibility. 

The project is based on the concept of a ‘puzzle’, where different user groups are seen as separate pieces that fit together to create a unified whole. Rather than creating isolated zones for these profiles, the design encourages coexistence and interaction, enabling different lifestyles and daily routines to overlap within shared spaces. This approach reflects the idea that collective living environments are strengthened and made more dynamic through diversity. 

The proximity of the site to nearby universities plays a significant role in shaping the student housing profile. Students are integrated into the housing complex not as a separate group, but as an active part of the community. Families and elderly residents contribute to a more stable and continuous daily life, creating a balanced social structure. The puzzle concept emerges through this integration, where each group maintains its own identity while contributing to a shared living environment. 

A central element of the project is the multi-functional common space, designed to adapt to different activities and user needs. This space can function as a café, a social gathering area, or a film screening space at different times of the day. By avoiding rigid functional definitions, the shared areas become flexible and inclusive social spaces that support interaction between different age groups and lifestyles. 

Overall, the project reinterprets housing in Talas as a collective and adaptable living environment, where different user profiles come together like pieces of a puzzle to create a cohesive, socially active, and flexible residential structure.
