the ‘gumus~su villas‘ by demirden design and çirakoğlu architects were designed for those who want to experience every season of the year in turkey, to relax and cleanse their souls in its unique nature. with the architecture and design details of the five abodes, not only do they present a special living space, but another way to experience the peninsula. within an 8,000 sqm plot of land on a south-facing hillside, each has been allotted its own 1,000-1,350 sqm garden. as such, they exist in harmony with the surrounding paradise, watching over the 4,000 years of historical and cultural heritage that is the carian city of myndos.

the patio

the interior is defined by stone walls that make stylistic references to the region, bringing the architecture together with the timeless footprints of history. upon entry, visitors are greeted by the patio that presents all of the materials and colors of the atmosphere. the spa and bath are adorned with white marble, wooden fittings, and an ambiance provided by natural sunlight. the kitchen and dining area are occupied by specially-designed fixtures and appliances. the adjacent lounge creates a spatial awareness that embraces views of the sea. this scenery is accentuated by the terrace, which is accessible through sliding glass doors, and features a swimming pool of natural rock surfacing.
