Located in Göktürk Istanbul, Vural House is designed as a private family house by Pimodek Architecture in 2021. Built in 1990, the residential building had a lack of functionality and aesthetic appeal. In this sense, the scope of the project focused on these needs and created a living space that responds to today's conditions.
Vural House comprises three levels divided into private and shared spaces. Opening to the garden, the ground level, which is intended for the everyday activities of the inhabitants, holds the living room, dining room, and lounge area with a fireplace. Opening to the sports room and the kitchen, the family room is planned on this level by providing spatial continuity. The staff room is also arranged on this level.
The stairs, which connect the ground level with the upper ones, are demolished and redesigned for functional and aesthetic necessities. The master bedroom, located on the middle level, is planned as a suite with a dressing room, make-up room, and lounge area in it. Also, two children's rooms, a nurse's room, and a bathroom are planned on the middle level. The reading room which overlooks the living room is also located on this level. Moreover, a workroom and two guest rooms are arranged in the attic.
In the Vural House, grey and white colour palettes are frequently used and completed with natural stones. Better yet, the wooden coverings are preferred to create a sense of continuity. On the other side, artworks and some furniture, lighting, and decorative objects are highlighted in between this minimal spatial flow. Şahin Demir ve Ozan Oganer, Emre Namyeter ve Hasan Pehlevan, Nconen, Mira Oran, Hande Uğur, and Burcu Filiz are among the artists whose works are featured in this house.
Blurring the boundaries between interiors and exteriors thanks to wide openings, the colour and material palette of Vural House is continued through exterior. Adding a swimming pool, the house defines a contemporary living space by opening to the garden.
