Architecture

GENER PRIVATE HOUSE

This project is situated on the northwestern slope of a valley in Yalıçiftlik, Bodrum. The site spans 5200 sqm, with the house occupying 190 sqm. The layout thoughtfully segregates living spaces: the living room, kitchen, and master bedroom are located on the upper floor, while the children's rooms and activity areas are on the lower level.

SLOPE-EMBRACING

HORIZONTAL MASS

The design deliberately articulates a singular linear mass into differentiated volumes in order to intensify the spatial experience. Through their varying proportions and sectional articulation, these volumes establish a contemporary dialogue with the vernacular architecture of the surrounding village and integrate into the broader silhouette of the valley.

LAYOUT FOR

MEDITERRANEAN

The garden is designed as a series of terraced levels, creating linear micro-spaces that respond directly to the topography, rather than broad, undifferentiated areas. Landscape elements, comprising both hard and soft surfaces, are strategically placed around circulation paths, centering on the captivating views and the integrated water feature.

A linear water feature mirrors the house's form, extending along its front. In certain areas, this water element subtly penetrates the interior of the home, blurring the lines between inside and out.

THE PLAN

The plan dissolves traditional boundaries by introducing deliberate architectural "ruptures" transforming simple gaps into active pocket courtyards that connect different living zones.
