Villa house design/ 2008
Subject: Villa House Design
Description: Private Villa
Date: 2008
Professor: Zeynab Ustun
This is the project commissioned from a private
client for a summerhouse by the see, located
in North Cyprus - Girne, in the Rivirya Hotel Vil-
lage.
This was an attempt to fulfil the cultural and
expressional dimensions in architecture; that
was also an introduction to principle of plan-
ning, taking care of the traditions and the local
environment, as for example the humidity, hot
weather and typical local stones of the area.
The idea behind the project is therefore to
emphasize the wildness of the area by placing a
clean shaped volume that naturally finds its way
into the landscape according to view,orientation
and privacy.
The house lays on the ground like rock does in
the desert: it is evident and part of the surround-
ing in the same time, an architecture between
human-made and nature.
The 150sq of the over ground space has been
fitted as a unique volume, where the sleeping
room, kitchen, bathroom, living room and en-
trance are at the same time isolated and com-
municating with the whole residence.
To be noted the living room, circle shaped with
the glass balcony in order to see the movements
of the sea below.

Hotel Apartment / 2009
Description: Hotel Apartment
Date: 2009
Professor: Zeynab Ustun
This course is focusing on the functional, structur-
al and facility system in architecture.
The aim of this project was the design of a hotel
near to the main street in which needs a cosy cen-
tred space far away from streets commotion and
formed other spaces around itself.

26. 26
Hotel Apartment / 2009
In this project several various functions in-
cluding restaurants, outdoor facilities and
swimming pools,fitness centres and spa,have
been designed.
Contemporary hotel design involves effec-
tively integrating these various aspects of ho-
tel operations within a location, to minimize
interference with one another.

Concept of this project to keep the old his-
torical design to move into modern.
The new bank is constituted by two main
elements: main building situated into the
site shelter by light glass, other building is a
small money museum right in the centre.
The main idea of this design is to create mod-
ern ambience while considering the context,
the environment site, and to merge the past,
the present and now to the future.

Professor: Hossina Nafa
All phases of this project are performed by
Sara Ghezelayagh and Ali Khalili.
Designing a residential complex is the at-
tempt of this course, considering the environ-
ment, culture and economy.

30. 30
Nowadays in big cities is easy to see controver-
sy as urbanism vs. nature; our concept is some-
how criticism of this issue.
On the other hand, the site had the potential to
vast the concept, half full of tall trees and half
without any, neighbouring high-rise buildings.
This is the rebel of introversion and extrover-
sion.

Ali Jebeli and Jahid Yetkili work on construction
site at ANI Mimarlik Construction Company.
My task:
When I joined this project it was from the start-
ing, the design for the exterior shape was more
or less decided, but on the other hand I had the
opportunity to work on the interiors and materi-
als as well as taking care of some details draw-
ings.

35. 35
The idea for the facade was to use the solid ma-
terial that increases its qualities over time and
that gives the feeling of monolithic.
During this phase I had a chance to help the
customers in choosing materials and fixtures
and bathroom.
The floor and part of the walls are covered in
tiles different grey stones. The concept for the
interior was to integrate in one side of each
room all the main furniture.

Underground Shop Design / 2013
Description:
Conceptional work.
Looking at the concept, the sense of movement
and the dynamic modulation are the main charac-
teristics that attract the attention the explanation
of main idea stand in something more rational;
indeed the challenge is to design vibrating like
an anatomic component of a skeleton, created by
a repetition of simple elements.
The aim is to start from the simplest geometrical
shape, in a way to enable to the whole process of
formation in a easiest and effective manner.
