The Human Sandwich House of Fethiye.

I guess that’s a strange title!

But I think its well deserved.
This is a specially designed house just waiting for the next earthquake to happen.

Look at these photos:

Do you notice anything missing ?

Look carefully and you will see that there are NO concrete columns AT ALL !!!

Incredible but true !
However the master genius who designed this house in a designated High Risk Earthquake zone ( Zone No. 1) has used plenty on concrete somewhere else.

Yes, he has used it for the base and for the floor between the lower and upper level flats. So that’s about ten tons of concrete carefully laid on top of these fragile Turkish “wafer-bricks” with no supporting columns.

So when the next earth-quake ( or even maybe a heavy lorry passes) the family that will be renting the downstairs flat will get very nicely quished flat in this “human sandwich” house.

Ne güzel !
