Mine’s point of view

“Design is where a project starts. Delivery is where it succeeds or fails. I want to be there for both.”

The team

One team, from start to finish

Our team includes master craftsmen who both draw and build. Many have worked together for years. The same people stay with a project from the first drawing to handover.

Two studios

Istanbul and Urla

Istanbul

Where most of our commercial and residential work is designed and managed.

Urla

A studio and home on the Aegean coast, where clients can see our materials and details in person.
