The house is designed for a young family of four, located in Bahçeköy, Istanbul. The main motive of our concept is to have capaciously open spaces for living areas and link the interior to the exterior through large windows and terraces. As viewed from the outside, the house gives strong and secure sense through concrete-stone mixed material of facade, however serves very open and airy space inside facing the private garden at the rear. The large windows at the ground floor level incorporate sliding doors that open onto the pool side terrace and fill the living and dining space with natural light. When designing, both for inside & outside, natural outcomes of the materials have been preserved as much as possible. Corten steel garden wall, handmade concretestone mixed facade, natural looking of wood and marble have been used in the aim of creating warm and “living” atmosphere both in and outside. All the furniture has been designed as a combination of black and natural oiled oak, pastel tones of lacquered MDFs. Metal elements are mostly chosen in black and particularly copper & satinet metal tones. The atmosphere has been created principally in a plain way; the details, furniture, and several art pieces bring the color accents to the interior. As an architectural element, a sculptural staircase has been designed, linking the three levels and coated with natural oiled oak that gives warm atmosphere to the volume. In the garden, next to the swimming pool, a pool-house has been designed, accommodates a living space, kitchenette, outdoor lounge, gym, changing room and toilet. On the front side wall-height sliding windows allow natural light fulfilling the inner space, and creates an open space next to the pool on demand.
