Production Technology: I designed the frame of my mountain winter house as a completely steel construction. I shaped all the furniture inside completely myself, in accordance with the harmony of the design and the way of use. Everything in the house was thought up and implemented by me, inspired by my own imagination.
Design Challenge: Creative challenges and obstacles in the process of adding, realizing or dissolving the chalet are addressed from different perspectives. This is it
engineering and structural challenges
climatic conditions

Architectural Design.

Many effects such as Social Effects and a structure proposed as an alternative
Inspiration: I have long dreamed of getting away from the noise and chaos of big cities. As the days melted into the same routine, a voice inside me was calling him; Towards the deep silence of nature, to a simple and serene life... With this very call, we set out towards the snow-covered slopes at the foot of a mountain. The dream of this chalet was not only an escape, but also a search for rediscovery of the soul. Everything started to take shape one afternoon, as the snowy peaks were setting. The structure of the house should be in harmony with the hard but protective body of the mountain. Its solid structure with a steel frame should break the power of nature and reflect every detail, warmth and comfort inside.
Project Duration: The project was designed in january , 2022 and the construction took 8 months to be completed in Turkey.
Operation Flow: This chalet can be tucked away outdoors thanks to the right features and design. Since it has good insulation, it offers comfort in hot and cold weather. Additionally, it has an aesthetic and functional structure to be built in harmony with nature.
