Overlooking the breathtaking views of Bodrum, this private villa project merges modern architecture with the refined elegance of Serapool porcelain. Designed as an infinity pool, the project utilizes the Blue Bead Series, whose deep navy tones and textured surface visually merge with the sea, creating an atmosphere that is both vibrant and serene. The porcelain pool tiles offer high resistance to UV rays, chemical exposure, and thermal shocks, ensuring long-term durability. Around the pool, Beige Stone porcelain anti-slip terrace tiles provide a natural aesthetic that blends with the landscape, while the PTV ≥ 45° anti-slip rating ensures safe use along the infinity edge. Complementary details such as Blue Bead outer trim and Beige Stone flat coping pieces add refined and functional transitions at the poolside, enhancing both form and function.

Drawing inspiration from the inviting hues of cream and the clean lines of modern style, this kitchen exudes sophistication while embracing comfort.

Cabinetry: Cream Tone Cabinets: Custom-designed cabinetry in a creamy beige hue forms the foundation of the space. The neutral yet rich color adds depth and warmth to the kitchen. Countertops: Quartz Countertops: Polished quartz countertops in a complementary cream shade offer a durable and luxurious workspace. Their smooth surface adds a touch of modernity to the design. Backsplash: Crackled Subway Tile: The backsplash features crackled subway tiles in a coordinating cream tone. The textured surface adds visual interest while maintaining the overall elegant aesthetic. Fixtures: Oil Rubbed Bronze Fixtures: Oil rubbed bronze faucets and hardware provide a striking contrast to the creamy palette. Their aged appearance adds character and an element of timeless sophistication. Appliances: Stainless Steel Appliances: Sleek stainless steel appliances seamlessly blend with the contemporary design, adding a touch of modern functionality to the classic color scheme. Lighting: Pendant Lights: Pendant lights with clean lines and warm tones illuminate the space with a soft glow. These fixtures serve as both functional lighting and stylish accents. Island: Central Hub: The kitchen island, featuring a quartz countertop that mirrors the rest of the design, becomes a central gathering place for culinary endeavors and conversations. Floors: Luxury vinyl plank flooring: The floors are graced with rich hardwood in a warm brown tone, contributing to the overall sense of comfort and luxury. Accents: Metallic Accents: Delicate metallic accents, such as bronze-colored utensil holders or decorative bowls, tie in with the oil rubbed bronze fixtures, maintaining a cohesive theme. Décor: Subtle Artwork: Elegant artwork or sculptures with warm undertones can be strategically placed to add a touch of personal expression and sophistication. Plants: Indoor Greenery: Potted plants or fresh herbs placed by the windowsill infuse a natural element into the space, bringing life to the design.

A family of passionate athletes and sports aficionados embarked on a remarkable endeavor alongside our team and Studio M Merge. Their vision? To breathe new life into their outdated mid-century modern home and neglected pool, resulting in the dramatic “Sports Enthusiasts’ Hideaway.” The transformative journey focused on opening the interior spaces out toward the beautiful gardens and amenities. The renewed house features expanded open-plan living areas, a new bedroom, and a reimagined primary bath. An attached ADU added a sports bar and a flexible office space that can double as a private guest bedroom. The outdoor spaces were brought to life with the addition of expansive decks, inviting patios, a horseshoe pit, a basketball half-court, refreshing plunge pools, and a lush sports lawn. A pool house artfully frames the view from the pool to the neighboring golf course. This family of five finds themselves immersed in their expanded home and experiential outdoor hideaway. Every element has been thoughtfully designed to cater to their favorite activities, providing a peaceful haven where they can fully indulge their shared passion for sports.

Nestled along the sun-kissed shores of a tranquil beach, this remarkable beach home epitomizes the essence of coastal living. As you step onto the patio, the first thing that catches your eye is the stunning brick flooring, which exudes a rustic charm that beautifully complements the coastal surroundings. Overhead, a graceful ceiling fan stirs the gentle sea breeze, making it the perfect spot to unwind and soak in the ambiance. But it's the carefully chosen lighting that truly transforms this space. Delicate ceiling lights and wall lamps cast a soft, inviting glow as the sun sets, creating a magical atmosphere for both day and night.

The white door opens to reveal a home decor paradise, with coastal-inspired wall paintings that reflect the serene waters just beyond the patio. The synergy between the indoor and outdoor spaces is truly captivating. This beach home is a testament to how thoughtful design and attention to detail can create a space that's not just a house but a haven. It's a place where you can savor the beach life in style, where every element from the brick flooring to the ceiling fan and lighting plays a part in the story of comfort, relaxation, and coastal elegance.

Owners wanted to merge traditional with a bit of modern into their tudor office space. We were able to merge the terrazzo tile floor with the green and gold accents used in this space.

A minimal insertion into a densely wooded landscape, the Collector’s Pavilion provides the owners with an 8,000 sf private fitness space and vintage automobile gallery. On a gently sloping site in amongst a grove of trees, the pavilion slides into the topography - mimicking and contrasting the surrounding landscape with a folded roof plane that hovers over a board formed concrete base. The clients’ requirement for a nearby room to display a growing car collection as well as provide a remote area for personal fitness carries with it a series of challenges related to privacy and security. The pavilion nestles into the wooded site - finding a home in a small clearing - and merges with the sloping landscape. The building has dual personalities, serving as a private and secure bunker from the exterior, while transforming into a warm and inviting space on the interior. The use of indirect light and the need to obscure direct views from the public right away provides the client with adequate day light for day-to-day use while ensuring that strict privacy is maintained. This shifting personality is also dramatically affected by the seasons - contrasting and merging with the surrounding environment depending on the time of year. The Collector’s Pavilion employs meticulous detailing of its concrete to steel to wood connections, exploring the grounded nature of poured concrete in conjunction with a delicate wood roof system that floats above a grid of steel. Above all, the Pavilion harmonizes with it’s natural surroundings through it’s materiality, formal language, and siting.
