Preface

The very name "Yupekchi," derived from the Turkmen word for silk, pays homage to the region's deep-rooted tradition of sericulture, a craft that has thrived in these lands since ancient times.

Inspired by the architectural marvels that have graced the oasis cities along the Silk Road, the Yupekchi HQ blends modern design with the timeless elegance of Turkmen cultural heritage.

Exteriors

Designed to address the unique environmental challenges of the desert climate, the building features engineered ventilated façade system that helps regulate the interior temperature and reduce energy consumption.

The building’s façades draw inspiration from the intricate patterns and defensive architectural elements of the nearby ancient fortress of Gyz Gala, an iconic representation of the area’s rich architectural heritage.
