Design - İstanbul, İstanbul, Turkey
Kocaciklioglu Mimarlık is an architecture and design practice that has as its basis an overriding concern for the nature of the places we live in. Starting from the design approach of Yildirim Kocaciklioglu that is focused on fusing the spirit of modernism with classic traditions, to Cem Kocaciklioglu's finely detailed interiors and exteriors for modern living, the firm's works spanning sixty years show an abiding care for how clients work and live. In the numerous works by the firm, whether they are buildings, interiors, or furniture, we see how each place and object is carefully designed with attention to the clients' way of living, the context in which it exists, and the overall environment. KM creates architecture and design that enhance space by creating functional solutions at every scale and point of the project from seemingly the most mundane to the most visible. Viewing the project as a whole, each element is intricately tied to the unity of the project without neglecting individual functions and overall efficiency. A living room arrangement is not just a juxtaposition of a chair and sofa but the start of a dynamic design matrix that extends throughout a space for living, tuned to age old rituals and modern lifestyle. KM's design aesthetic subtly creates auras from the basic elements of form, shape and light finely tuning the visual focus and program of each space to the overall needs of the client and program. Each bit element, from the color and feel of each finely crafted piece of material and texture, to the symbolic power of each design object and piece of art and the rhythm of architectural geometry, are all important in developing a harmonious balance. This is not architecture and style for its own sake. KM's explicit design philosophy is concerned with the restrained mediation of each space in a modern way that creates clean and comfortable places for living. It is their unique contribution to present-day architecture and design.
