DESIGN STORIES
Into the WOODS
DESIGN & BUILT
PROJECT: RESIDENCE
LOCATION: GOKTURK, ISTANBUL
House of BAC, located within Belgrad Forest, Kemer Country Kutuk Evler possess numerous features with an enchanting allure that beckons one towards nature. The entire 4-acre garden, nestled within a pine forest, spans a total area of 350m2, accompanied by a separate 25m2 annex. It stands as one of the most exceptional homes in the forest—a splendid detached villa.
The design process of the house, we aimed to seamlessly integrate nature into the interior while embracing an innovative approach with modern and contemporary touches. The house comprises a ground floor, basement, and attic. The ground floor hosts main areas like the living room, kitchen, along with a hobby room offering panoramic views and a children's room. The attic features a master bedroom, while the basement, reconfigured with meticulous attention to isolation details, now includes two bedrooms, a dressing room, and a shared space with direct access to the garden.
We aimed to reflect the surrounding greenery and nature within the house. Alongside walnut parquet floors and wooden detailed furniture, we enriched the space by blending wood with green-toned marble and weathered brass details. Comfort and coziness were our primary considerations in furniture selection. We opted for linen textures in light tones or shades of green and brown. Choosing wallpapers with different textures helped create a distinct ambiance in the space. For fun and colorful details, we incorporated them into the leisure room and children's bathroom.
