Livadi Konacık Houses project is a project consisting of 4 villas on a land of 1362 sqm, located in the central Konacık District of Bodrum. Villas, each with a private swimming pool, are on average 155 sqm. The project aims to provide a sense of privacy while taking advantage of being located in the center of the city.
Our main approach in design was to combine natural, sustainable and innovative materials with modern and contemporary forms. In order to allow optimum daylight into the interior, we used the joinery on the facade in large sizes and with a sliding system. We placed wooden dividers on the balconies. Our principle here is that we want to preserve the sense of privacy of all villas and create the perception of contemporary form with this wooden pergola that expands as it goes up. The natural stone we lay irregularly on the facade not only adds a stylish appearance to the building, but also ensures that it keeps the building cool in summer and warm in winter. The facade created by natural stone, wood and metal panels fits exactly the way we express the modernity and sustainability perception we want.
We prioritized natural materials and modern design decisions for interior design, as for the facade design. Efforts have been made to ensure maximum mobility in open-plan living spaces. In the American kitchen, storage areas are used at an optimum level and elegance is provided with natural materials. Details such as the ghost staircase and the pebbled plant corner were important points of our design. The metal railings where the wooden steps meet look like thin ropes holding the stairs in the air.

Creating a balance between the surrounding nature and the family’s hectic, busy and urban life, House in the Woods was designed by the Istanbul-based interior design studio Ofist with using simple, familiar materials and meticulous implementations.
One of the wooden houses of Kemer Country premises in Istanbul, House in the Woods was over modernized, disconnected from its surroundings, and lost its connection with the habitat. Ofist’s involvement had started at the beginning of the pandemic, as the clients had to move in a very short period, like one month. Naturally, Ofist’s approach was to avoid too much interference with the infrastructure. Instead, the focus has been on clever touches and personalizing the house for its new residents. It was aimed to create a balance between the surrounding nature and the family’s hectic, busy, urban life.

The building mass, which dwells on the slope of the land, extends towards the landscape as if it was rising from the geography itself, emphasizing the existing topographic authenticity. The façade setup with its plain but particular composition, brings a unique identity to this simple rectangular prism building mass. With the help of courtyards, the surface area has been increased and so natural light utilization is optimized.

Ankara has a new landmark with an international appeal; The Presidential Symphony Concert Hall which lies in the heart of the city , right in the middle of the axis going between the historic Ankara Castle and Anıtkabir (mosuleum of Atatürk). The cutting- edge building with its focus on culture aims to prove an asset to both local and global music scene while being the product and instigator of interaction and exchange among citizens.
The Presidential Symphony Concert Hall lies in the heart of the city, right in the middle of an axis connecting the historic Ankara Castle and Anıtkabir, the Mausoleum of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk (the founder of Turkish Republic). It is embedded in a relatively abandoned urban landscape, which is the only gap looking towards Anıtkabir and the historic Ankara Citadel from Ataturk Boulevard, which functions as the main avenue since the first urban plans of Ankara. The decision was to avoid interrupting the views of both the Citadel and the Mausoleum. The project stood out among other competition entries with two prominent features: One is this subtle symbolism concerning the dialogue of the premodern and modern-republican histories of the city. The design strategy prioritizes vistas of both monuments and establishes the dialogue by being a contemporary cultural destination in between. The second concerns the timeless form and spatial qualities of the complex. According to the jury report, the building reveals a symbolic architecture that will not wear out over time, avoiding a design language that can be valid for a certain period of time.
