From the start of the project, I had already a strong feel of what I wanted to make.

​

I wanted a house that made you feel you were standing in a big space, but that wouldn't take up a lot of space on the lot. That is why I chose to make the building tall and with a lot of windows to make it feel open. 

Because I don't want the people who live there to feel looked at, I made sure that the lot had a lot of coverage from the trees, which also created a more pleasant temperature on warmer days. 

​

I also wanted the building to be modern and not like the stereo typical colourful and detailed buildings from the Ottoman time period. I do think that the details are pretty, so I implemented them in my designs in a subtle way. Some windows have a pattern on the outside to create depth and to let the details come back.

​

I chose to make the building out of three shapes.

One small half arch, a big half arch and a green house on the side. 

​

The house has two floors, the second floor being a loft that looks out to the dining area and the living area as well the beautiful view from outside,
