Fresh is the interior design of a business hotel located in a busy business district of Istanbul. The complex covers 10,000 square meters and holds 128 rooms and a spa area of 1,000 square meters. In contrast to the traditional Ottoman style common in the city, the interior is modern and minimal. Blue and green tones refer to the Bosphorus and are intended to create a calm and refreshing mood. Marble, natural fabrics and carpets with bird motifs are used. Mirrors and natural plants make the lobby appear wider and brighter.

- Production Technology
- As per the technic is concerned, the hotel design is based on the latest technology. For the interior designed I preferred to use luxurious marble with high quality that can reflect the city lights on trough the big wide windows. In addition to these, natural fabrics are used with the sofas and carpets that have bird designs are used to symbolize the symbol of seagulls of Istanbul. When lobby is concerned, many mirrors that gives wideness combined with natural plants are used to refiect fresh atmosphere. Also to give a modern touch modern ceramic is used instead of traditional one in the bath rooms.
- Design Challenge
- The main difficulty and challenge I had to face wit was about the furniture design and implementation. The production stage especially of the sofas were not so satisfactory. For that reason, I had to reorder many times.
- Project Duration
- The project started in 2019 and finished in 2020 in İstanbul
- Operation Flow
- My initiative idea was fresh since İstanbul’s rhythm is very fast and tiring. For that reason, to fresh up and give energy to the guests was my main idea. To transform this idea, I mostly used natural designs with modern and minimal touches to refresh and rest the minds of the guests.
- Research
- To design the hotel was very exhausted. The reason is that when I searched the hotels in İstanbul most of them were designed in traditional Ottoman style. For that reason, I wanted to give a modern touch and to change the whole concept not only took time but also demanded too much concentration and energy.
- Inspiration
- My inspiration is based on the Bosphorous blue. To reflect the feeling of freshness blue is combined with an another color green. In addition to this I believe that the color blue also fits with the delta blue mark as well. Since it is a business hotel to my mind, guests can get rid of stress and a leave a tiring day behind with the calming and relaxing features of these colors which may help them to fresh up and increase their energy. Moreover, the view of the Bosphorous changes the stress of the crowded city mood into a peaceful and magical atmosphere.
