About Veil House Prif Swyddogaeth: Tu Mewn Fila
Testun y Llyfr: Mae Veil House yn du mewn fila 600 metr sgwâr sy'n cydbwyso preifatrwydd ac agoredrwydd trwy oleuni haenog, cymesuredd mesuredig, a deunyddiau tawel. Mae marmor fformat mawr a pharquet derw yn creu sylfaen dawel, tra bod argaen bren, gwydr myglyd, a phres brwsiedig yn ychwanegu dyfnder a chynhesrwydd. Mae grisiau agored gyda goleuadau led integredig yn angori cylchrediad ac yn cludo golau dydd rhwng lefelau. Mae golygfeydd goleuo awtomataidd, gwresogi tan-lawr hydronig, a systemau llif oerydd amrywiol yn cydweithio ar gyfer cysur ac effeithlonrwydd ynni, gyda storfa gudd a haenau acwstig yn cadw eglurder.

- 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.
