Design Details

Unique Properties: The project house consists of 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 1 toilet, a living room, an open kitchen and an ironing room. Many products used in the project were designed and produced by local craftsmen in the region. Many antique pieces and items inherited from ancestors were reused. In the project where warm colors were used together, small references to family history were made with personalized details.
Inspiration: This 2-story house, located in Fethiye Dalyan and overlooking the Kings' Tombs, boasts a usable area of 280m2. We have learned that there is a deep-rooted connection between Dalyan and the homeowners, as their elders have been living here for many years. This information, along with the house embracing the beauty of its surroundings and making it feel like it belongs here, adds even more significance to everything. The house is planned as a vacation home where the couple will live with their two daughters, aiming to make the occupants feel intimate and warm in the space.
Research: The idea behind this project, where each detail carries its own story and the craftsmanship of local artisans is emphasized, is truly inspiring. The fact that every piece of furniture or decorative object has a story behind it deepens the character of the house and provides clues about the identities of those who inhabit the space. The console crafted by the wood carving master from Antep should not just be seen as furniture, but rather as an artwork. The masterful craftsmanship of wood carving brings a tradition from the past into the present, enriching the atmosphere of the house.
Challenge: Although Dalyan is a summer region, the project owners dream of moving here from the city and living here year-round in the coming years. For this reason, even though it was designed as a summer house, all the necessary infrastructure has been prepared for living in this house in all 4 seasons. The project owners refer to this house as their "dream house".
Realization and Technology: In the project, where mainly solid wood was used, cooperation was made with local teams and craftsmen for all wood and stone manufacturing. A few special pieces by a local wood carver are also included. The products designed for the project were made from a special stone extracted from the local marble quarry.
Project Duration and Location: The project started in September 2021 and finished in August 2022. It is located in Dalyan, Mugla City, Turkiye.
Specifications: This 2-story house has a usable area of 280m2, includes 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 1 toilet, a living room, an open kitchen and an ironing room
