NAK House Living, led by Nur Kaşıkçı Eke, who is known for the houses she designed in the Çeşme region of Izmir, is here with a new project. The house in Şantiye Evleri in Ilıca, which Nur designed with her husband Alpkaan Eke and interior designer Ebru Özdağlar, features soft colors and a bright modern style.

Nur Kaşıkçı Eke says, "The main design principle of this house is a soft ambience with clean surfaces and a soft atmosphere. We wanted it to be a flat house from start to finish".

One of the most important details in the house is the kitchen. "We didn't want to see the cabinets in the back, so we designed cabinets that are far from the usual cabinet graphics, in a single color and integrated with the wall," says Nur Kaşıkçı Eke: "All the cabinet doors continue to the ceiling. We left only 2 cm between the door and the ceiling. Most of the doors were made to reach the floor. Visually, the choice was made to be the least tiring for the eye".

WAKING UP TO GREEN AT THE START OF THE DAY

Nur Kaşıkçı Eke planned the layout of the bedrooms to be as connected to the outdoors as possible. "We tried to give the feeling of waking up to greenery at the beginning of the day. I say we tried because we couldn't wash the walls of the house, which limited us".

The silver travertine sinks with patinato in the bathrooms were custom made. Care was taken to ensure that the bathroom cabinets were both useful and modern, far from the usual bathroom perception.
