    ASTA? HOLDING

Located in Balmumcu, Be?ikta?, this garden duplex residence was completed in 2024 as part of a contemporary residential complex. The apartment offers a total of 400 sqm of interior space, complemented by 250 sqm of private garden and terrace areas. The entrance level accommodates the main living spaces, including the living room, kitchen, guest WC, and a service room with an en-suite bathroom. The lower level is dedicated to private areas, featuring four bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, as well as a family TV lounge. The master suite is designed as a continuous sequence, where the sleeping area flows seamlessly into a walk-in dressing room and bathroom. The residence opens directly onto the garden and benefits from generous ceiling heights, enhancing the sense of openness and natural light throughout the interior. A calm yet refined design language defines the project, where simplicity is elevated through careful proportions, material transitions, and tactile surfaces. Wood paneling is used selectively to introduce warmth and rhythm, while maintaining visual balance across the spaces.Lighting is approached as an integral architectural element rather than a decorative aftert
