About Bosphorus 住宅室內設計

Bosphorus係一個住宅室內設計項目，個單位坐落喺伊斯坦布爾，可以飽覽博斯普魯斯海峽嘅景色。呢座建築物建於1990年代，經過全面翻新，只保留咗柱、樑同承重結構系統。全新嘅佈局橫跨三層，將每個房間互相連接，營造開放空間同引入自然光。兩個客廳分別用於家庭聚會同招呼賓客嘅場合。項目仲包括影院室、健身房同客房套房。雲石、玻璃、木材同石材共同營造出寧靜而歷久常新嘅室內氛圍。

Unique Properties: Located in a perfect spot overlooking the Istanbul Bosphorus, this house initially built in 1990’s, has been returned to its roots with Architect Ayse Kubilay's renovation project prioritizing client’s objectives and the comforts of contemporary lifestyle. It is distinguished by an atmosphere of tranquility with a luxurious allure, a place of refuge in the city. Ayse Kubilay's interior design project emphasizes open spaces and natural light, creating an environment that feels expansive and inviting. Entrance of the home its like a filter that transports guests from the pulsating heart of Istanbul into a refined and sophisticated oasis. Spanning over three floors, Bosphours house has two different living rooms, one for invitations and one for family gatherings. Ground floor is reserved for family gatherings, while the entry floor is designed as invitation spaces with living and dining areas. Both floors are opening up to a breathtaking Bosphorus sea view. Ground floor is meeting with the garden and infinity pool at the outdoor living area. There is also a cinema room, a gym and a guest bedroom suite on the ground floor. The third floor is reserved to the bedrooms. Master bedroom has a generous area designed with dressing room, bathroom and a private large terrace with a view.
Dimensions & Packaging: The house is located on a hill that has characterized the layout of the plan. The interior design aims to create a tranquil and spacious living space in an area shaped by the differences in elevation. The 1000sqm indoor and 2000 sqm outdoor living area has been designed meticulously to offer residents a unique living experience.

Production Technology: We stripped down the interiors, only keeping the column, beam and carrier systems. The layout plan is meticulously designed to prioritize flow and accessibility, ensuring that each room seamlessly connects to the next while offering stunning views from every angle. The project offers functional spaces and additional to its user centric design the interiors strike a balance between luxury and moderation. Innovative use of materials, such as marble, glass and sustainable woods, enhances the sense of transparency and connection with outdoors.
Design Challenge: The house had a heavy atmosphere characterized by classical decoration elements dating back to 90's. Stripping down the interiors, only keeping the column, beam and carrier systems and changing the layout plan of the house was a challenge. We re-designed the plan meticulously to prioritize flow and accessibility, ensuring that each room seamlessly connects to the next while offering stunning views from every angle.
Research: We have renovated a 1990s building into a contemporary residence. In our new material decisions we preferred to use sustainable products. We used natural materials like wood, marble and stone. The residence was completed with an energy efficient innovative smart home technology.
Inspiration: The concept is expressed through an interior design that embraces a range of influences from the historical Istanbul and mid century style seamlessly blending with contemporary design. Characterized by the contrasts and exquisite combination of different materials the project has been realized with a design approach that will stand the test of time. The house stands out with its identity that respects its past and does not compromise on the parameters of tomorrow while meeting today's needs.
Project Duration: The Bosphorus House project started at the end of 2023 in Istanbul, finished in May 2024. It has been published in Maison Francaise interior design and decoration magazine.
Operation Flow: Architect Ayse Kubilay is known mostly with its hotel and restaurant projects. While creating this project, i had an approach like we are designing a small resort hotel. It has all the functions a living complex can offer; cinema room, a gym, a game room, guest suites with private bathrooms, an executive suite for the owners, two different kitchens, four different lounging areas, two different dining areas and also open living areas in the garden offers different functions.
