Car Museum and Karting

An angular car museum in Northern Cyprus responds to uneven terrain, pairing exhibition spaces and karting with a transparent bridge across the river.

THE PROJECT

Conceived for an uneven site in Northern Cyprus, the car museum brings together the display of automobiles and a karting experience. The terrain was a central design challenge: changes in level, the river and the surrounding mountains all shaped the proposal. Rather than treating the two sides of the river as separate destinations, the scheme connects them with a transparent bridge that makes the crossing part of the visitor’s experience.

The museum’s roof is composed of intersecting, sharply angled planes. Their geometry responds to the mountain forms described in the project concept, while the lower volumes and open spaces negotiate the site’s changing levels. Drawings and views show exhibition areas, landscaped outdoor routes and the compact karting circuit as parts of a wider site arrangement. The contrast between the enclosed galleries, open landscape and glazed crossing gives the project its spatial rhythm.

Sections develop the museum beyond its exterior silhouette, showing main and special exhibition spaces, a gallery and parking below. The project is presented here as a design proposal: its drawings, model and visualizations explain the intended relationships between terrain, circulation and programme, not a completed building.
