Developed by Rixos Group<\/strong> with architectural design by Tabanl\u0131o\u011flu Architects<\/strong>, the project brings together residential, hospitality, cultural, retail, dining and public spaces within a large-scale waterfront development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Within the project, Tersane Living \/ Tersane Apartments<\/strong> represents the residential component, combining contemporary living spaces with hotel-level services and the wider social and cultural infrastructure of Tersane \u0130stanbul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For a project where architecture, interior detailing and preservation of the visual character of the spaces are fundamental design criteria<\/strong>, HVAC components needed to provide the required technical performance while remaining fully integrated with the architectural concept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For the air distribution system, Gerhman supplied NEXUS Plaster-In Slot Diffusers<\/strong>, specifically selected for areas where the visual integration of HVAC terminals into the ceiling architecture was a key requirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n NEXUS is designed for direct integration into plasterboard ceiling systems, allowing the diffuser frame to become concealed within the finished ceiling construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once installed, the visible element is reduced to a clean, continuous linear air slot<\/strong>, providing an architectural appearance without conventional exposed diffuser frames.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This made NEXUS particularly suitable for Tersane \u0130stanbul, where mechanical services needed to remain visually discreet within carefully designed interiors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At the same time, the diffuser provides the required engineering performance in terms of airflow distribution, throw characteristics and occupant comfort<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The result is an air terminal that functions as part of the HVAC system while visually becoming part of the architecture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gerhman CAV \u2013 Constant Air Volume<\/strong> units were incorporated into the HVAC system to maintain the required airflow rates within designated zones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The CAV units provide controlled and stable air volume distribution independent of normal variations in duct-system pressure, supporting the design airflow balance across different spaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is particularly important in a large mixed-use development where residential, hospitality and public areas operate under different occupancy and ventilation requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The combination of controlled air volume and correctly selected air terminals<\/strong> supports stable room conditions, effective air distribution and overall HVAC system balancing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Gerhman scope also included FBC4 Fire Dampers<\/strong> as part of the building’s passive fire-protection strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Installed at required fire compartment penetrations within the HVAC ductwork, the fire dampers provide automatic isolation of the duct system in the event of fire, helping maintain the integrity of fire-rated compartmentation and limiting the spread of fire through ventilation ducts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Their integration allows the ventilation system to operate as part of the building’s overall fire-safety concept while meeting the mechanical requirements of a complex mixed-use development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tersane \u0130stanbul required an HVAC approach in which technical systems could be integrated without compromising the architectural identity of the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gerhman addressed three principal requirements through complementary product solutions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Architectural Air Distribution \u2014 NEXUS Plaster-In Slot Diffusers<\/strong> Airflow Control \u2014 CAV Units<\/strong> Fire Compartmentation \u2014 FBC4 Fire Dampers<\/strong> Together, these systems provide an integrated solution combining air distribution, airflow control and fire safety<\/strong>, while maintaining the architectural integrity required by one of \u0130stanbul\u2019s most distinctive waterfront developments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Project:<\/strong> Tersane \u0130stanbul \/ Tersane Living Architectural Air Distribution Solutions for \u0130stanbul\u2019s Historic Golden Horn Waterfront Located on the waterfront of \u0130stanbul\u2019s Golden Horn, Tersane \u0130stanbul is a major adaptive-reuse and mixed-use development transforming the historic Ottoman shipyards into a contemporary destination while preserving the architectural and industrial heritage of the site.
