About Urla Prif Swyddogaeth: Tŷ Gwesteion
Testun y Llyfr: Mae Tŷ Gwesteion Urla yn naratif gofodol lle mae ffiniau'n ymdoddi a symudiad llifol yn diffinio'r profiad pensaernïol. Yn lle waliau solet, mae haenau hydraidd yn caniatáu i olau, awyr ac amser anadlu drwy'r adeiledd. Mae symlrwydd amrwd y concrit micro yn cyferbynnu â chynhesrwydd pren naturiol, gan sefydlu iaith ataliedig sydd â'i gwreiddiau yn y dirwedd. Mae'r gofodau'n cysylltu'n ddi-dor, gan wahodd archwilio lle mae pob trosglwyddiad yn datgelu safbwyntiau newydd. Wrth i olau dydd ddawnsio ar draws arwynebau, daw'r tu mewn yn gysegrfan fyw a luniwyd gan awyrgylch, deunydd a pharhad barddonol.

- Production Technology
- Natural and durable materials are prioritized to ensure longevity and timeless appeal. Micro concrete is applied on floors and selected walls to achieve a seamless and continuous surface. Natural wood elements and custom-designed separators introduce warmth and spatial definition. Precise craftsmanship, refined detailing, and controlled material transitions preserve the integrity of the design while enhancing its tactile and visual quality.
- Design Challenge
- The main challenge was to design a compact yet spacious environment without compromising comfort or functionality. Instead of conventional solid walls, carefully crafted wood separators maintain visual continuity while subtly defining different zones. Establishing a strong connection between interior and exterior spaces within a limited footprint required precise spatial planning, resulting in a fluid, cohesive, and highly functional living experience that enhances both usability and overall spatial quality.
- Research
- The Urla Guest House is conceived as a refined living environment that balances privacy and openness within a natural setting. Interior and outdoor spaces are treated as a unified whole, supporting a seamless and integrated lifestyle. Natural materials, soft spatial transitions, and filtered light enhance continuity and spatial depth, while the compact layout is carefully optimized to maximize comfort, functionality, and an efficient use of space without compromising design integrity.
- Inspiration
- Inspired by the calm rhythm of Aegean lifestyle and the natural character of Urla. The design balances simplicity openness and a strong connection with nature. It complements the main villa while maintaining its own identity. Natural materials soft transitions and filtered light create a serene and refined atmosphere.
- Project Duration
- Located in Urla, Izmir, Turkey, the guest house is designed as an extension of the main villa. Developed simultaneously, it ensures architectural continuity. The project is planned to meet functional and aesthetic needs and will be implemented during the construction phase.
- Operation Flow
- The layout is designed to provide a fluid and intuitive spatial experience. Kitchenette, living, and sleeping areas are organized within a continuous open-plan scheme, ensuring functional clarity and visual continuity. Solid wood separators subtly define zones without interrupting the overall flow, while expansive openings enhance the connection to the garden and pool, allowing natural light and landscape to become integral elements of a relaxed and cohesive living environment.
