Batıyakası H42
A whole-apartment renovation in the H42 development, where the public rooms and the children's wing speak the same warm, rounded language despite serving very different daily lives.

Project Narrative
The clients had two young children and an active social calendar — both realities had to be accommodated without one compromising the other. The apartment was reorganised so the public spaces and the bedrooms occupy distinct sides of a long axis.
We worked closely with the children to design their own rooms — a cloud-shaped wall light, a quiet study nook, and a generous wardrobe were each developed from a sketch one of them brought to a meeting. The adult rooms then borrowed the same softness, in a slightly more sophisticated key.
Beige fluted wall panels, brushed brass details, and a warm oak floor recur throughout the apartment — a unifying material grammar that makes a fifteen-minute walk between zones feel coherent. Acoustic detailing in the children's wing keeps morning noise from reaching the master bedroom.
The apartment now hosts dinners and homework at the same hour without contradiction. The children's drawings still hang where their original sketches were, framed alongside the cloud light they helped invent.
