Scruffy Dog Creative Group (SDCG), a leading creative design company, has announced it will lead the development of entertainment offerings for what is being described as ‘The New Downtown of Istanbul’.
The largest shipyard in Turkey, Tersane’s heritage dates back seven centuries and is earmarked for a major transformation by the firm in partnership with FTG Development and The Rixos Group.
The area including its iconic slipways will be renovated into a modern mixed-use destination with an emphasis on recreational and leisure activities, arts and culture and entertainment.
Tersane Entertainment District will pay homage to the history of The Golden Horn with visionary architecture, considerate material use and sculptural elements to be found throughout the shipyard.
Within the currently under development space, visitors will experience panoramic sunset views and water projection shows, complementing gastronomical venues, exhibition spaces and an assortment of art classes.
“We are delighted that the concept we delivered for Tersane Entertainment District was so well received, says Scruffy Dog Creative Group CEO Joe Bright. “To now be moving into the schematic and detailed development phases of this visionary and culturally significant project is both an honour, and greatly exciting for both myself and the team.”
Scruffy Dog Creative Group have frequently been involved in cultural destination developments, providing design and build services for a range of projects including the culturally significant World of Wine in Porto, Portugal.
This summer, Scuffy Dog announced its latest collaboration with Simtec Systems GmbH, resulting in a new Fisher-Price dark ride concept in collaboration with toy manufacturer Mattel.
The creative design company also presented its latest products at DEAL, a leading industry trade show in the Middle East, represented by CEO Joe Bright and marketing manager Jacqueline Hunter.
Scruffy Dog Creative Group is currently showcasing projects at IAAPA Expo Europe in booth #306.
