BAB Architects
BAB is a collective architectural firm based in Istanbul. It was founded in 2018 by Interior Architect Hüseyin Beş and Architect İrem Arıbaş.
The firm develops projects in architecture, interior design, broadcast decoration, and stage design, offering project management, implementation, and consultancy services. These services are carried out at the company's office located in Istanbul, Turkey.
We treat each new project as a unique beginning, with its own context and specific requirements. Our approach is rooted in the philosophy of a design workshop, where we aim to create innovative, high-quality, and distinctive solutions that add value to the project’s context. This is achieved by addressing the needs of the structure and the spaces. With the invaluable contributions of our team members, we transform the original concepts conceived at the design desk into spatially cohesive, well-grounded, and tangible realities. We do this by supporting the design with meticulous details, ensuring that all architectural components are resolved during the production process the core of the project.
We believe that when a living space is designed in harmony with its character and structured with the right functional solutions tailored to its location, time, and environmental context it can have a profound positive impact on both the structure and the users. This belief fuels our passion and motivation for what we do. The meaning and values we aim to bring to the structures and spaces we touch through our projects reflect the value we place on our profession.
Founded by two designers with a shared passion for design, BAB Architects blends creativity and expertise to bring innovative ideas to life.
Our founders, İrem Arıbaş and Hüseyin Beş, have been interested in various areas of design. İrem Arıbaş received a scholarship while studying at university and graduated from the Faculty of Architecture at Bahçeşehir University in 2009. Hüseyin Beş’s interest in fine arts and design began during his high school education.
