- Interior Architecture · Build · Project Management
A boutique commercial room in Kadıköy that moves inward from the shopfront in a single language. Counter, light and seating come from the same decision.
The street face was taken as a threshold. The plan is short: entry, counter, seating. Circulation is clear; furniture is fixed and few.
Oak, stone and brass; a palette that stands quiet in the tempo of the street. The aim was not to attract attention, but to leave a place to stay inside.

The plan is short: entry, counter, seating. Circulation is clear; furniture is fixed and few.
02
Making the shopfront a threshold

03
Fitting the palette to the street
Oak, stone and brass. The aim is not to catch the eye; it is to leave a place to stay inside.
