About Veil House Villa-Interieur

Veil House ass en 600 Quadratmeter groussen Villa-Interieur, deen d'Privatsphär an d'Offenheet duerch geschichtent Liicht, ausgewuene Proportiounen a roueg Materialien ausbalancéiert. Grousseformateg Marber an Eechenparquett schafen eng roueg Basis, wärend Holzfurnéier, geréischtert Glas a gebiischtent Messing Déift a Wärmt bäifügen. Eng Trap mat offene Stufen an integréierter LED-Beliichtung verankert d'Zirkulatioun a bréngt Dagesliicht tëscht de Niveauen. Automatiséiert Beliichtungsszenen, hydraulesch Buedemheizung a Systemer mat variabelem Kältemëttelduerchfloss schaffen zesumme fir Komfort an Energieeffizienz, mat verstoppte Späichermeiglechkeeten an akustesche Schichten, déi d'Kloerheet erhalen.

Unique Properties: Veil House is a 600 m2 villa interior that balances privacy and openness through layered light, proportion, and quiet materials. Large format marble and oak parquet set a calm base; wood veneer, smoked glass, and brushed brass add depth. A floating stair with integrated led lighting anchors circulation. Automated scenes, hydronic underfloor heating, vrf and concealed storage deliver comfort and efficiency while acoustic layers keep the atmosphere refined.
Dimensions & Packaging: Gross Floor Area: 600 m2. Structure: Reinforced concrete frame. Clear Heights: 2.80 to 3.20 m. Floors: Oak parquet and large format marble. Walls: Wood veneer panels with acoustic backing. Glazing: Thermally broken frames with Low E double glazing. Lighting: Automated led coves and profiles with sensors. hvac: Variable refrigerant flow with heat recovery. Heating: Hydronic underfloor. Security: cctv, access control, intrusion.

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.
