Architectural Designer
Independent architectural design practice with 21+ years of international experience, specializing in luxury villa projects and villa developments in Bodrum, İstanbul, and internationally.
With over 21 years of international architectural experience, I specialize exclusively in luxury villa design that seamlessly integrates contemporary sophistication with Mediterranean living. My practice creates exceptional residential properties ranging from intimate 500m² retreats to expansive 4,500m² villa complexes.
Currently Senior Partner at Feel Good Mood Ltd. Şti., and formerly Partner and Director of Design at Başaran Demircan Mimarlık, I have designed and delivered over 25 luxury villas across Bodrum, İstanbul, and internationally. My approach combines deep understanding of site-specific design with international luxury standards.
From hillside properties that embrace natural topography to waterfront villas with innovative construction techniques, each project represents a unique dialogue between architecture and landscape. Fluent in English with extensive experience in international building standards and permit processes, I provide personalized service and direct access throughout the project journey, ensuring every villa reflects the client's vision while maximizing the site's potential.
