Architecture in Zekeriyaköy, Sarıyer
Zekeriyaköy lies in the Sarıyer district of Istanbul, north of the Belgrad Forest. It is one of the few settlements that sits inside the city while keeping its distance from it: detached houses with gardens, villas in gated developments and generous plots side by side.
That setting translates directly into architecture. In Zekeriyaköy what makes a house valuable is not its floor area but how it relates to its garden. How the living space opens to the garden, how usable the terrace is through the day, how the shade of the trees is brought into the plan — all of these are design decisions.
Humidity and tree cover also govern material selection. The species of timber used outside, the maintenance interval of the facade cladding and the wet-area details directly affect long-term upkeep here. In the residential project we completed in Zekeriyaköy we aimed for exactly this balance: natural materials, a calm spatial language and an uninterrupted relationship with the garden.

How we work
| 1. First meeting | We look at the plot or the space together, listen to your needs and set the budget frame. No fee is charged for this meeting. |
| 2. Concept | We produce the spatial layout, the material approach and 3D visuals. This is the stage where the design is discussed and revised. |
| 3. Construction drawings | Detail drawings, joinery and production files. Everything the contractor needs to build is defined here. |
| 4. Production and site | We supervise fabrication, coordinate the trades and check that the work matches the drawings. |
| 5. Handover | Final checks, the correction list and delivery of the space ready to use. |
