Located in Urla, formerly known by its Greek name Vourla and now called Urla, one of the most popular areas of Izmir in the Aegean region, this single-storey house with the highest ceilings (almost high enough to take a -mezzanine- together) offers its owners a life in touch with nature by combining functional use and sustainability. Located on a 6650 m² flat land, the group of buildings forms a holistic living space with the main building, guest house and outbuilding block. The project has a regular layout that organizes day and night use of the interior spaces into private and public areas. Designed for homeowners who are contemporary art collectors, the wide corridors, personalized solutions and comfortable living spaces create a gallery atmosphere.This distinguished building has a total floor area of 850 m² and includes an entrance hall, multi-purpose hall, dining room, kitchen, home office and three suite bedrooms. The partial basement of 413 m² includes a private spa, gym, utility rooms, technical and other functional areas. The corridor, which is placed on a straight axis from the entrance door, is 3.5 meters wide and 85 m² in area and also functions as an art gallery. The corridor-gallery ends with a window framing the pool and the garden directly opposite. This axis also creates a natural boundary separating the private living areas from the common/guest areas. On the right side of the corridor, there are two suite bedrooms with the master bedroom, and on the left side, there is a home office and a dining room with an open kitchen carefully equipped with today’s technological tools and appliances.Reaching 5 m ceiling height, the roof is flooded with daylight filtered through the ventilation windows or moonlight in the evening, warming the interior of the house with the energy brought by natural light and providing fresh air circulation. In addition, the staircase connection in the center of the building works like a courtyard, allowing natural light to reach the basement.The wide eaves surrounding the building serve as a canopy to add coolness (sea-breeze) in order not to be affected by the hot Aegean climate. Since there is a movable pergola in the parts where the eaves meet the interior space, it was made with the idea of optimizing natural lighting in different seasons and hours of sunlight.The guest house, which is more modest in size than the main building, consists of two suites and a living room and measures 145 m². The net floor height in this building is 2.90 meters. The stone wall along the road provides privacy and creates a visual integrity with the outbuilding opposite.In front of the terrace of the guest house overlooking the garden, there is a greenhouse and orchard area where the owners grow their own crops. Landscaping is in harmony with nature and supported by green areas.The 110 m² outbuilding is designed to provide a comfortable living space for the staff who take care of the garden and stables.
