Honestly, breathtaking.

The scale, the curves, the tessellation, the quiet neutral palette. And the sculptural shell that comes almost all the way to the ground, making you want to get close and actually touch it.

I loved seeing it in daylight and then watching it change as the sun went down. Light is such an important part of what I do in my studio, and experiencing this architecture through that transition was pretty magical.

All photographs are mine. Photography is a little hobby I love. i-10 💋

Happy Mother’s Day to my Mama in heaven, and to my beloved sister Saray, who helped raise me with so much love.
As the youngest, I think she still sees me as a baby, and she has always been my rock.
🥰😘♥️💋🌺

When a designer hires you to design her own home, there’s a quiet moment: how is this going to work?

Especially when she has an undergrad in interior design and a master’s in industrial design! You feel that instantly.

But there was no hesitation. No interviews. She trusted my expertise and wanted a timeless, highly functional home that merged her style with her husband’s, a trained chef. The kitchen was entirely designed for her husband.

What followed was a full first floor transformation. A gutted kitchen, completely reimagined. Even the exterior wall was reworked to make the layout work.

Designing for another designer was magic. We spoke the same language. With an incredible general contractor, a deeply engaged client, and our design team, it all just clicked!

At one point our client said, “Ayten, I think we made about 10,000 decisions in this kitchen.”

She wasn't wrong!

Hello Spring. 🌿🌱🌱

Constraints are just the beginning of the conversation. When an HOA mandate meant a black awning, we did not fight it. We let it become the anchor for the entire design.
Black metal frames, natural rattan, warm stone, and graphic contrast.

I learned in my formal studies that visual clarity in your presentation reflects clarity in the actual design. Positive and negative space are equally important.

This spring patio concept is a reminder that limitations are not roadblocks. They are cues to set the stage for something beautiful with details that can be added once the design concept is solidified.

*This design started with hand sketches, visual collaging, and digital presentation. Our studio utilizes AI strategically in our processes, but AI was not used for this concept.
