Quiet buildings for loud cities.

Residential and hospitality architecture from Istanbul since 2011. Homes, hotels and restaurants that feel calm the moment you walk in.

The studio

We are fourteen architects and designers in Karaköy. We design fewer buildings, better: homes that age well, hotels that feel like somewhere, and restaurants people don’t want to leave.

What we do

  • 01

    Architecture

    New homes, hotels and small public buildings, from the first sketch to the handover.

  • 02

    Interiors

    Restaurants, shops and homes, with furniture and lighting designed or chosen by us.

  • 03

    Restoration

    Listed and historic buildings, planned with the heritage boards from day one.

  • 04

    Feasibility

    What can you build on this site, and what will it cost? A clear answer in four weeks.

We build it in cardboard first.

Every project starts as a model on our big table. Clients move walls with their hands, and we find the problems before they cost money on site.
