Halil As Bodrum Villa

Two villas conceived as siblings — independent yet identifiable as one composition — set into a Bodrum hillside where the Aegean defines every view and every breeze.

A Mediterranean residence of two villas with palms and twin infinity pools on the Bodrum hillside.

Project Narrative

01Concept

The plot's steep grade asked for terraced building rather than a single mass. We split the programme into two villas connected by a shared garden so each family enjoys an unobstructed view while the composition reads as a unified seaside ensemble.

02Design Process

Wind and view analyses determined the precise rotation of each villa. Their footprints follow the natural contours so excavation was minimised, and existing olive trees were retained as anchor points around which the gardens were drawn.

03Execution

Local stone, lime-washed render, and weathered timber make up the material palette — chosen so the villas age into rather than away from the landscape. Each pool is finished with a darker stone that lets the water read as part of the sea below.

04Outcome

The two villas function as a small private compound — separate enough for daily privacy, close enough for shared evenings around a single garden table set between the pools.
