Urban renewal projects in Antalya
Replacing an ageing building with a contemporary home on the same plot often means bringing several owners and a contractor into one project. As Pratikiz Architecture, based in Antalya, we give owners and contractors clear, comparable options in urban renewal, draw the architectural project and coordinate the permit process.
What we take on
In urban renewal we draw the architectural project and coordinate the permit process. We assess the plot’s zoning status and the existing building, read the expectations of the owners and the contractor together, and then prepare comparable options for the layout and the distribution of apartments.
We also coordinate plot consolidation (tevhid) and zoning procedures, such as a plan-note amendment or a request to increase the floor-area ratio. These are part of our project scope and are separate from the permit process.
Construction stays with the contractor. If you wish, we take on site and fabrication supervision as a separate service. If the owners wish, we also support them in choosing the contractor; we run the selection together with the owners, as a joint decision.
You can approach us as an owner or as a contractor. We present the same project to both sides in separate presentations prepared around each side’s priorities.
The process: urban renewal in five steps
- 01
Initial assessment. We assess the plot’s zoning status, the existing building and the route to follow (Law No. 6306 or a flat-for-land agreement) together.
- 02
Options. We draw more than one option for the layout and the distribution of apartments.
- 03
Presentation. We present the options to the owners and to the contractor in separate presentations and show apartment and area figures in comparative tables.
- 04
Decision and development. We develop the chosen option with feedback from the owners and the contractor, and finalise the project.
- 05
Construction drawings and permit. We prepare the construction drawings and coordinate the permit process.
Who takes on what?
| Design | Permit | Construction | Materials and purchasing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Us: from initial assessment to construction drawings | We coordinate it | Contractor | Contractor |
Contractor: the firm that carries out the construction.
For owners and contractors
For owners: we show what the project will bring you in apartment and area figures, in comparative and plain terms. We put the options side by side so you can decide.
For contractors: we prepare a presentation that lets you assess the feasibility and the area distribution of the project; construction stays with the contractor.
Our approach to design
We say that nature is practical. We value production with fewer resources and less energy, simple and effective form, sustainable and local materials such as wood, stone and marble, harmony with people, environment and context, and use that flexes with changing needs. Our projects show what these principles look like in practice.
Who you work with
Our founder, architect Aydın Uçar (MSc), has been in practice since 1994 (Chamber of Architects registration no. 25555). He holds a master’s degree in restoration and teaches at Akdeniz University. Pratikiz has worked in Antalya since 2017, and our Villa Türker project won an ADCA 2025 Gold award.
Related projects
Examples of our renewal work: Muratpaşa 1508_23_24, two adjoining plots designed together with their owners; and Dutlubahçe Karakoca AP, a new building designed on the same plot in place of an ageing apartment block. Both are under construction. Each project page carries images and project details.

Frequently asked questions
- What do you do on urban renewal projects?
- In urban renewal we give owners and contractors clear, comparable options. We draw the architectural project and coordinate the permit process.
- What stages does an urban renewal project go through?
- Five: initial assessment, options, presentation, decision and development, and construction drawings and permit. Each stage builds on the one before and is run by the same team.
- Which routes do you work on?
- Depending on the plot, we work on renewals carried out under Law No. 6306 or through a flat-for-land agreement. We assess which one fits at the initial assessment stage.
- Do you work with owners or with contractors?
- Both. We present the same project to the owners and to the contractor in separate presentations prepared around each side’s priorities.
- How do you compare the options?
- We draw more than one option for the layout and the distribution of apartments and show apartment and area figures in comparative tables. The owners and the contractor can then weigh the options side by side.
- Who carries out the construction?
- Construction stays with the contractor. We draw the architectural project and coordinate the permit process.
- Who handles the permit process?
- We coordinate the permit process.
- Who handles plot consolidation and zoning procedures?
