tabanlioglu architects: istinye residence

‘istinye residence’ by tabanlioglu architects, istanbul, turkey image © tabanlıoğlu architects

turkish practice tabanlioglu architects have designed ‘istinye residence’, a residential block comprised of three buildings along the bosphorus in istanbul, turkey. formally reminiscent of wings, butterfly roofs at varied orientations hover above the tree line opening views to the encompassing greenery and welcoming abundant daylight inside. a transparent facade in conjunction with the interior’s vaulted ceilings dissolve the boundary between the internal and external environments.

bedrooms are placed near the perimeter of the plan arrangements while bathrooms are pulled inwards towards the less illuminated center of each structure. terraces and balconies extend living spaces into the natural surroundings while outdoor communal areas serve as a gathering platform for residents.
