About Veil House Interior de vila

Veil House és l'interior d'una vila de 600 metres quadrats que equilibra privacitat i obertura mitjançant la llum en capes, proporcions mesurades i materials serens. El marbre de gran format i el parquet de roure creen una base calmada, mentre que el xapat de fusta, el vidre fumat i el llautó setinat afegeixen profunditat i calidesa. Una escala d'obra oberta amb il·luminació led integrada ancora la circulació i condueix la llum natural entre nivells. Les escenes d'il·luminació automatitzades, la calefacció hidrònica per terra radiant i els sistemes de cabal de refrigerant variable treballen conjuntament per al confort i l'eficiència energètica, amb emmagatzematge ocult i capes acústiques que preserven la claredat.

Production Technology: Reinforced concrete frame with internal fit out in dry construction. Large format marble slabs templated on site and book matched; stone adhesives and color matched epoxy grout. Engineered oak parquet, matte oiled. Wood veneer wall panels on acoustic backing with concealed clips. Smoked glass partitions with minimal frames. Brushed brass trims and pvd coated inlays. Integrated led coves and profiles on dimmable drivers. vrf hvac and hydronic underfloor heating.
Design Challenge: The challenge was to open living areas to landscape while preserving privacy, acoustic comfort and energy targets on a tight urban plot. West sun, neighborhood noise and compact shafts limited options. The solution combined a recessed circulation spine, layered shading, high mass stone finishes, acoustic backing and discreet storage. Hydronic underfloor heating and vrf, coordinated by a building management system, stabilized climate without visual clutter.
Research: Type: Applied design research. Objectives: daylight access, acoustic comfort, energy efficiency, intuitive operation. Methodology: iterative prototyping and simulation within BIM. Tools: climate and daylight analysis, UDI and DA calculations, lighting mockups, acoustic modeling, energy balance. Participants: design team, mep consultants, client. Results: higher daylight autonomy and lower glare. Insights and impact: courtyard oriented layout, automated scenes, high mass finishes and acoustic backing improve comfort and provide a replicable model for urban villas.
Inspiration: The project is inspired by the valley's soft daylight and a brief for serene hospitality in a dense urban setting. We studied how light can shape privacy, testing scene based lighting and shading to keep rooms luminous yet discreet. Material trials on marble veining, oak tone, smoked glass and brushed brass defined a tactile, calm palette. Reworked classical rhythms frame views, guide circulation and temper noise.
Project Duration: The design phase started in September 2024 in Istanbul and finished in January 2025 in Istanbul. The project was presented to the client in January 2025 and documented for publication in the same month.
Operation Flow: A centralized building management system coordinates lighting, shading, hvac and security. Tunable led scenes animate coves and stair reveals, while presence and daylight sensors modulate intensity through the day. Hydronic underfloor heating provides stable comfort and vrf units handle peaks. Sliding partitions and concealed storage keep circulation clear for effortless daily use and hosting.
