Architecture and Materials
The wooden architectural style created an architectural language that harmonized with the historical fabric of Sille.
The choice of materials at Sille Primary School was made considering the building's location within its historical context and its identity as an educational institution. The wooden architectural design has given the building a warm, natural, and harmonious appearance.
During the reconstruction process, facade proportions, building mass, roof effect, opening arrangement, and the relationship with the environment were considered together; the building was completed in a way that is both harmonious with the historical environment and meets contemporary functional needs.
Wooden Character
The architectural expression based on the use of wood gave the school building a natural, warm identity that integrated with its surroundings.
Modern Educational Structure
Classrooms, workshops, laboratories, and social areas have been planned to meet the needs of contemporary education.
Interior Details
Wooden ceiling, staircase, and gallery details enhanced the warm educational atmosphere of the building.
In interior spaces, wood is used not only as a decorative element but also as the main character defining the entire architectural identity of the building.
The relationships between the staircase, gallery, ceiling, and corridors have been completed in a way that creates a spacious, legible, and strong spatial continuity for students, teachers, and daily school use.

Application Discipline
The reconstruction process was carried out with the goal of preserving architectural integrity and ensuring continued use.
In practice, the focus was not only on the reconstruction of the physical structure, but also on the building's relationship with its environment, its function, the safety of the educational facility, and the need for long-term use.
Taksim Yapı has considered historical sensitivity, contemporary educational space requirements, and field implementation discipline in this project.
Conclusion
Sille Primary School has been completed as a building that is in harmony with the historical environment and meets the needs of contemporary education.
The building is a reconstruction project that stands out within the historical fabric of Sille with its wooden architecture, functional educational spaces, and balanced relationship with its environment.
