Designed by MAS, the residence is located on the hillside of Cihangir, on Susam Street, overlooking Meclis-i Mebusan Avenue, which runs along the Bosphorus from Tophane to Dolmabahçe. The site offers stunning views of the Bosphorus and the Historic Peninsula through its proximity to significant landmarks like Galataport and the Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University. At its rear, the project engages with the historic facades, creating a warm and intimate relationship with the local neighborhood.

Spanning approximately 165 square meters of net usable space, the interior has been redesigned to meet the contemporary needs of its inhabitants. With a singular gesture, a curvilinear wall carves into the existing plan of the house, creating a linear axis of living, working and entertaining areas that connect to each other seamlessly and open up to exterior views at both ends. The entryway expands as it approaches the façade, inviting the user to take in a panoramic view of the Bosphorus. Meanwhile, the working and private spaces are oriented towards the rear, overlooking the cozy streetscape of Susam Street. The dual axis open layout creates an organic flow, fostering a sense of balance between the need for openness and intimacy within the dwelling.

To provide flexibility while meeting functional needs, the kitchen and study are equipped with sliding panels, allowing both spaces to integrate with the social living areas of the house and maintain an uninterrupted connection to the view when desired. The restrained palette of the interior is enhanced by sliding glass panes that open onto the terrace, allowing the light and colors of the city, Bosphorus, and sky to flow in. Orthogonal recesses within the curvilinear volume are signified by accent materials and colors: aluminum at the access portals, and colorful ceramics for the wet areas. Custom-designed furniture featuring wood accents enhances the design’s cohesiveness and warmth, while offering flexible, personalized, and functional solutions.
