Destination Boutique Hotel
The house design started sketching on napkins in the owner's Soho restaurant while looking at the dramatic site plan and site photos 300feet above Aegean sea level over Babakale the Turkish fisher men town facing to the Greek Islands. The owner Utku Cinel was looking into having a simple summer house with hi ceiling living spaces and related rooms considering to have the flexibility of converting the house into a boutique hotel.Observing the Owner's lifestyle and personality helped to characterize the shapes with functions respecting to the local codes and designing in smart ways by taking advantage of sloping geology and the rocks.Maximizing the allowed building area simplified by creating boxed out spaces. Indoor and outdoor spaces integrated to each other with separating movements
Tuscan style Rough form of stone from the site used for border walls and in landscaping, sectional levels created to ease the slope for future vineyards.
Introducing Corten steel I Beams to openings maximized the view of Aegean Sea while reinforcing the structure and design using its rusting nature
Steel treated w sea salt carried from town before installation to sweat the rust out and give its natural look to match with the stone and the site's wild nature.
