Architect İlkay Ala Sirkeci places emphasis on creating enduring, timeless environments rather than responding to transient trends, a principle clearly reflected in the detached residence situated within Seba Royal Estates in İstinye. Designed for a family of four, the residence aspires to provide a luminous, comfortable, and nature-oriented living setting that addresses functional requirements while supporting emotional well-being.
Individual private areas are articulated to convey each family member’s identity, whereas the communal zones are composed to reinforce unity and social interaction. Natural light is strategically employed to define spatial character and establish a sense of openness and calm, while the garden level extends the interior outward to achieve a seamless relationship between architecture and landscape. Consultations with the homeowners informed the inclusion of a bar within the living area, reinforcing the ground floor as an elegant, social focal point. The design language harmonizes Ala Sirkeci’s architectural identity with the family’s lifestyle, resulting in a residence distinguished by refined coherence, careful detailing, and a sustained contemporary expression.
