About Antalya Wāhi Noho

Ko te hoahoa o roto o te Antalya Residence e whakahou ana i te mahana o te Moana Waenganui mā te hononga pai o ngā rawa me te rere āheihei o te wāhi. Ko ngā nohoanga kōpiko ngāwari, ngā papa rākau i hangaia mā te CNC hei mahi motuhake, me ngā rama papa-maha ka waihanga i tētahi hau o te marino me te huatau. Ko ngā uhi ōki, te mapere māori, ngā papa porcelain, me ngā whakaoti kiri raima ka whakaohooho i tētahi kōrerorero ā-pā i waenga i te mahana me te rawa taketake. I hoahoatia mō te noho o nāianei, ka whakanui te wāhi nei i te whakamarietanga ā-kare, te haere tonutanga o te wāhi, me te huatau mutunga kore, me te whakanui anō i te mahi toi me ngā kiri māori.

Production Technology: The interior was realized through precise material detailing and controlled surface transitions. Large-format stone slabs, natural wood veneers, and matte metal accents were combined to highlight tactile harmony. Custom CNC-carved wall panels accentuate depth and shadow, while integrated lighting calibrates tone and ambiance. Craftsmanship and fabrication techniques were coordinated to ensure seamless junctions and a consistent material narrative throughout the project.
Design Challenge: The main creative challenge was to translate Mediterranean warmth into a contemporary interior without relying on traditional motifs. Achieving this required balancing sculptural forms with refined material transitions. The design resolves this tension by using texture, light modulation, and layered spatial depth to create a calm yet expressive environment, demonstrating how emotional warmth and architectural clarity can coexist.
Research: The research phase focused on how tactile materials influence emotional response and spatial well-being. Studies explored the sensory balance between stone, wood, and textile textures, examining how warmth and calm can coexist with contemporary forms. The final spatial language expresses a measured softness supported by lighting and material layering, demonstrating how atmosphere can be shaped through craftsmanship and sensory awareness.
Inspiration: The design draws inspiration from Antalya’s soft coastal light and the calm rhythm of the Mediterranean landscape. Gentle curves, tactile stone accents, and warm natural finishes reinterpret the region’s serene atmosphere into a contemporary living environment. The interior embodies a balance between sculptural form and emotional comfort, creating spaces where light, texture, and material depth evoke a sense of calm, connection, and subtle luxury.
Project Duration: The project is located in Lara, Antalya. Design commenced in March 2024 and was completed in May 2024.
Operation Flow: The spatial flow is designed to guide users through sequences of light, texture, and warmth. Movement unfolds gradually from gathering areas to more intimate zones, allowing the environment to adapt to daily living patterns. The relationship between natural daylight and layered interior lighting establishes a consistent emotional tone, encouraging a sense of belonging, calmness, and quiet social interaction within a unified spatial rhythm.
