Set against the stunning panorama of the Bosphorus in Istanbul’s Yeniköy district, YENIKÖY HOUSE is a refined residential project by SAVATLI Architects. Encompassing 480 square meters of living space and framed by a lush private garden, the house offers a seamless interplay between interior elegance and outdoor serenity.

Every detail of YENIKÖY HOUSE reflects a dedication to bespoke craftsmanship and material sensitivity. From the outset, the design aimed not only to embrace the surrounding natural beauty but also to create a living environment where each element resonates with individuality and timeless character.

Upon entering the home, a handcrafted wooden threshold draws immediate attention—a sculptural transition point that subtly marks the passage from one space to another. This element, with its softly curved form and hand-finished detailing, becomes an understated focal point, setting the tone for the tailored experience within.

Inside, walls clad in rosewood veneer bring warmth and richness to the space. This carefully selected finish—unique to the residence—creates a sense of continuity and grounding, complementing the natural light that filters in through expansive windows overlooking the Bosphorus. Every surface tells a story: from hand-painted coffee tables to custom-designed lighting fixtures, the home is imbued with artisanal touches that speak to the value of process and craft.

The living areas offer a curated composition of vintage and contemporary pieces, harmonized through texture and tone. Stone, wood, and metal converge in a balance of softness and precision, creating an inviting yet elevated atmosphere. Natural materials are left in their honest state, with finishes that reveal their intrinsic qualities rather than conceal them.
