Production Technology

In the project, natural materials were prioritized. An arched niche was designed at the head of the bed, creating depth on the wall. The floors feature natural wood flooring and micro concrete applications, lending a modern touch. Velvet fabrics and soft gray tones add a gentle texture to the space, enhancing its comfort. The terracotta lacquer door leading to the bedroom accentuates the area’s warmth, while the unique marble in the TV unit reinforces the luxurious atmosphere.

Design Challenge

The greatest challenge encountered during the design process is ensuring that the clients had complete clarity and assurance regarding the interior design before construction began. The fact that construction was not yet started made it difficult to effectively carry out material selections and layout planning. However, thanks to detailed analyses and continuous communication with the client, a satisfactory outcome is achieved at every stage of the project, both aesthetically and functionally.

Project Duration

The project is designed for a construction venture set to commence in Turkiye, Izmir, Urla. Although the construction is not yet complete, the design process is finalized within two months as the clients sought assurance regarding the interior design and material selections. The design, which aims to create spacious areas and a comfortable living environment, will be implemented upon completion of construction and presented to its users with the desired aesthetic.

Operation Flow

The design is planned to optimize the flow between spaces according to user needs. Expansive windows and open area layouts reinforce the transition between indoor and outdoor spaces, offering a living experience integrated with nature. The transitions between the bedroom and living areas are designed to create a comfortable atmosphere, while white solid wood beams add a soft ambiance that harmonizes with the coastal town.

Research

Urla Project is design to create a cozy summer house around the Egean Sea. The design aims to emphasize natural materials, natural lightining, and comfortable living spaces. Therefore, material selection creates warmth while expansive windows welcoming the natural lighting. Concordantly, indoor and outdoor relation reflects to life style of Urla. Additionally, furnitures, color selections and unique details play importand role to please clients needs. Once construction is completed, the design will be implemented, presenting the space with the desired comfort and aesthetics.

Inspiration

The project's inspiration stemmed from the natural beauty of Urla and the serene lifestyle of the region. In line with the clients' wishes, a modern design was developed using natural materials that reflect the dynamics of the coastal area. Large windows in every room open onto the garden, creating a living space that is intimately connected with nature. Soft tones and natural textures further enhance the interior's calming and inviting atmosphere.
