One Tower Turkey

Franke Kitchen Systems equips spectacular skyscraper

The outstanding quality, functionality and distinctive design of the products from Franke Kitchen Systems enable globally important construction projects to be realized.
The "One Tower", for example, was completed in the government district of Turkey's capital Ankara in February 2016. The Tower is an impressive skyscraper with a 78,560 sq m shopping center on five floors, as well as 308 apartments spread over a further 38 floors.

Franke equipped the apartments with Crystal Line ovens, hobs and microwaves, extractor hoods in Swing, Tube or Maris design, depending on the apartment – as well as dishwashers and kitchen worktops. The shopping center is enhanced by acrylic decorative elements, such as flower pots, seating areas and shelving for the washrooms produced by one of Franke's manufacturers under the supervision of Franke Kitchen Systems Turkey.

Let it Shine – Crystal Line

Top-level cooking: Made for lovers of luxury for whom elegance is a top priority and for whom only the best kitchen appliances are good enough. The Crystal Line meets all those requirements: clear lines and ultra-high-quality materials, with the appliances taking up very little space in the kitchen.

One particular highlight is the technology contained in the oven. Franke's innovative Dynamic Cooking Technology (DCT) enables the heat to be controlled with pinpoint accuracy, the oven to heat up in an energy-saving manner to over 200°C in less than 7 minutes, and a variety of different dishes to be cooked at the same time, without the smell or taste being transferred.

The optimized handles also set new trends. They leave plenty of room to turn the knobs and operate the touch-control TFT color display, which enables the intuitive use of the oven functions. The Soft-Close system allows the oven door to be gently opened and closed.

All this turns the preparation and cooking of dishes into a wonderful adventure and turns anyone into a king or queen of the kitchen. (Product highlights at the end of the text)


Everything from a single source for dealers and end-customers

Franke won the contract for the project as a result of its outstanding collaboration with the construction company, which has been ongoing since 2012, and because of its superb range of products. Recep Gulesci, an employee at Franke Kitchen Systems Turkey since it was established in 1999, and heading the project as Project Sales Coordinator, tells us: "In choosing Franke, the construction company benefited from a "one-stop shop", i.e. the opportunity to buy all the products from a single source."

Gulesci continues, saying, "We were the only bidder with a complete product range, including kitchen worktops. No other brand in the world can offer that."

End-customers benefit similarly from an integrated kitchen system. Performance and aesthetics are perfectly coordinated. Should there be any problems, both dealers and end-customers now only have one point of contact for all kitchen appliances, which simplifies customer service beyond belief.

And the "One Tower" will not be the last prestigious project for Franke Kitchen Systems Turkey. A new contract has already been signed with the same construction company for the "Lotus Beytepe" project – another skyscraper with a shopping center and apartments.
