Kaya Villa

Kaya Villa is a 2,500 sqm residence situated on a 20,000 sqm sea-adja­cent plot in Kaplankaya. Our team collaborated closely with Foster+ Partners on design development and research, contributing to both the architectural vision and its practical implementation. 

The villa is notable for its use of rammed earth concrete, a traditional method in the region that we adapted to enhance sustainability, reduc­ing environmental impact while maintaining structural performance. Combined with exposed concrete cantilevers for the roof, we carefully addressed insulation challenges and ensured full compliance with Turk­ish building codes. 

The layout was meticulously designed to respond to the client's lifestyle, creating spaces that balance privacy, social interaction, and connection to the surrounding landscape.
