The safe working training institute building stands out with its wooden and modern architectural design on the bulkhead line in Maltepe District of Istanbul. The institute garden's natural and unorganised looking is designed with unclear boundaries that aims at perceptual surprise by contrasting the structures surrounding, the artificial terrain on and monotonous green areas around of the garden's location. The dispersed and different frequency of perennials are juxtaposed and blended with the soil and meadow. The garden counters the existing artificial park area through the manipulation of texture and enclosure to create unexpected welcoming.
