Located in Istanbul Güzelşehir, this villa is situated within a 650 m² garden plot with a total enclosed area of 410 m². The interior architectural programming includes five bedrooms, two expansive living salons, three kitchens, four bathrooms, a family sitting room, a guest powder room, a sauna with a dedicated relaxation lounge, a dressing room, mechanical and laundry facilities, a pantry, and a winter garden.
Positioned to harmonize with its natural surroundings and panoramic sea views, the project was conceptualized to serve as a comprehensive primary residence. Given its distance from the city center, the design prioritizes year-round liveability and social engagement, ensuring the family can host and recreate comfortably across all seasons within a self-contained, high-comfort environment.

The kitchen was engineered as two distinct zones: a primary cooking/workspace and a secondary pantry for high-capacity storage. Recognizing the kitchen as the central communal hub for the entire family, the design prioritized accommodating large groups and high-traffic utility.
The aesthetic objective was a refined simplicity, achieved through the dominant purity of white, the sophisticated contrast of black accents, and the organic warmth of natural wood. This material strategy is further elevated by high-gloss natural marble applied across both horizontal and vertical surfaces; the resulting reflections create a unique sensory experience and a heightened perception of spatial depth.




The villa's basement level was transformed into a multi-functional sanctuary for recreation, housing a dedicated multimedia zone, spa, fitness area, dining/bar lounge, and a reading nook. The interior design prioritizes comfort through the use of playful pastel palettes and ergonomic furnishings.
To counteract the subterranean location, high-output homogeneous daylight-spectrum lighting was integrated to simulate natural sky conditions, effectively enhancing the perceived ceiling height and spatial volume. The level was conceptualized as a "retreat within the home," offering a dedicated environment for social interaction and psychological relaxation.
