Design Details

Unique Properties
The project aims to create a modern and distinctive living space in harmony with the nature of Urla. The single-story structure offers an interior place that is intimately connected with nature through expansive windows. A warm atmosphere is achieved with micro concrete flooring and natural wood floors. The furniture, featuring selections of lacquer, wood, fabric, and stone, reflects a modern coastal home vibe. Unique details in the bedroom and master bathroom combine functionality with luxury.
Inspiration
The project's inspiration stemmed from the natural beauty of Urla and the serene lifestyle of the region. In line with the clients' wishes, a modern design was developed using natural materials that reflect the dynamics of the coastal area. Large windows in every room open onto the garden, creating a living space that is intimately connected with nature. Soft tones and natural textures further enhance the interior's calming and inviting atmosphere.
Research
Urla Project is design to create a cozy summer house around the Egean Sea. The design aims to emphasize natural materials, natural lightining, and comfortable living spaces. Therefore, material selection creates warmth while expansive windows welcoming the natural lighting. Concordantly, indoor and outdoor relation reflects to life style of Urla. Additionally, furnitures, color selections and unique details play importand role to please clients needs. Once construction is completed, the design will be implemented, presenting the space with the desired comfort and aesthetics.
Challenge
The greatest challenge encountered during the design process is ensuring that the clients had complete clarity and assurance regarding the interior design before construction began. The fact that construction was not yet started made it difficult to effectively carry out material selections and layout planning. However, thanks to detailed analyses and continuous communication with the client, a satisfactory outcome is achieved at every stage of the project, both aesthetically and functionally.
Realization and Technology
In the project, natural materials were prioritized. An arched niche was designed at the head of the bed, creating depth on the wall. The floors feature natural wood flooring and micro concrete applications, lending a modern touch. Velvet fabrics and soft gray tones add a gentle texture to the space, enhancing its comfort. The terracotta lacquer door leading to the bedroom accentuates the area’s warmth, while the unique marble in the TV unit reinforces the luxurious atmosphere.
Operation and Interaction
The design is planned to optimize the flow between spaces according to user needs. Expansive windows and open area layouts reinforce the transition between indoor and outdoor spaces, offering a living experience integrated with nature. The transitions between the bedroom and living areas are designed to create a comfortable atmosphere, while white solid wood beams add a soft ambiance that harmonizes with the coastal town.
Project Duration and Location
The project is designed for a construction venture set to commence in Turkiye, Izmir, Urla. Although the construction is not yet complete, the design process is finalized within two months as the clients sought assurance regarding the interior design and material selections. The design, which aims to create spacious areas and a comfortable living environment, will be implemented upon completion of construction and presented to its users with the desired aesthetic.

The project offers a spacious living area with large windows and a ceiling height of 320 cm. Every corner of the interior is designed to maximize natural light. While selecting materials, durability and aesthetics are prioritized. Custom designed furniture and natural materials add warmth and sophistication to the space.
