Houses with projecting upper levels, Tophane mahalle, Yiğitler Caddesi
Bursa, Turkey
Traditional houses line Yiğitler street, adapting to its rise to provide views on the upper living floors to the street that leads to the Şehadet Mosque. The rose-colored dwelling in the foreground has shaped wooden brackets to support the upper floor, angled projections, and other wooden elements reveal the underlying frame construction. Taller modern concrete construction are seen in the distance. (photo 1994)
