Over the past years, we has been awarded more than 30 national and international awards and nominations. From major design competitions in Türkiye to global recognitions such as the European 40 Under 40, the Tamayouz Excellence Award, and the Claude Parent Prize nomination, these distinctions underline the studio’s consistent presence in the architectural field.

What connects all of these achievements is not quantity but approach: a practice grounded in context, heritage, and human scale, yet open to contemporary questions of urban life and architecture. Each award reflects our effort to translate cultural memory into new forms and to contribute to the discipline with projects that remain both critical and built.
