The result looks like something out of a sci-fi movie. The building is used to display the company's latest works and projects, including [luxury hotels and entertainment centers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deji-plaza-phase-ii). Considering the Tema Istanbul company is working on forward-thinking designs for clients, it only makes sense to build a showroom that can match this luxury and innovation. From afar, the structure even looks similar to a spaceship with its oval shape. Inside the elliptical design, the building looks relatively normal with a glass facade. Thankfully Yazgan Design decided to up the stakes and add in the outside structure to really give this building a modern and distinct look.
