Conservation of modern residential heritage has been a major topic in the field of heritage conservation in recent decades. The current practice of modern residential heritage conservation, however, mainly focuses individual structures, overlooking apartment blocks forming the modern urban tissue. Although there are theoretical and practical studies on the conservation of modern residential heritage, these heritage buildings are converted into touristic or cultural facilities. Thus, the dynamics of the city and the needs of inhabitants including housing opportunities are not taken into consideration in practice. Similarly, in Turkey, conservation of modern residential heritage is made individually as short-term solutions to the needs of time and general approach is to reuse them as touristic, commercial, or cultural facilities. Anafartalar Street and its surrounding is an important residential and commercial area of early Republican Ankara, which still comprises of many apartment buildings from the early Republican period. In time, however, these apartment buildings which formed the residential texture of the area have been gradually damaged due to fragmented and isolated interventions. Although there is a street rehabilitation project for the Anafartalar Street at present, this project only focuses on the facades of the structures framing the street. This thesis focuses on a group of Early-Republican apartments along Mevsim Street at the intersection of Anafartalar and Konya streets. It aims to develop conservation and adaptive-use principles for this group of buildings that will respond to the current dynamics of the area and the needs of the inhabitants. Based on these principles, proposals are developed for the buildings for the continuation of their uses as apartment buildings for different user groups.
