Studio
From Istanbul to Türkiye and the world: a team designing for climate, place and people.
Every project starts with a climate study
Before we draw, we measure: the sun's path through the year, prevailing winds, the hours in shade, the neighbouring buildings. Massing, façade and plan decisions follow from this data. The result is buildings that use less energy, feel better to live in and belong to their place.
Since 2008 our Istanbul studio has designed residential, workplace, education, cultural and mixed-use projects in Türkiye and abroad.

How we work
- 01
Reading the site
We study the site, climate, regulations and brief together; sun and wind data come before the first sketch.
- 02
Concept
We test massing options in models and simulations and choose the best balance together.
- 03
Design development
We coordinate permit and construction documents with every discipline in BIM.
- 04
Construction
Regular site supervision keeps design decisions intact on site.
- 05
Handover and beyond
In the first year of use we monitor energy and comfort data and carry the lessons to the next project.
