A Historic Wooden House Brought Back to Life
A Historic Wooden House Brought Back to Life
In this project, we set out to bring back to life a wooden house in Sarıyer, on the shores of the Bosphorus, which bore the marks of past centuries. We redesigned this cultural heritage to meet modern needs. The building’s structure was severely damaged and had also been affected by fire, making it necessary to dismantle and reconstruct the house.
By documenting its original state through various sources, we restored the house to its dazzling appearance from the period in which it was built. Restoring a historical building comes with legal and historical responsibilities that can sometimes be challenging. However, once the house was rebuilt and stood before us in all its glory, the value of all these challenges became clear. This project was a significant step in both preserving traces of the past and carrying them into the future.
We would like to express our endless thanks to Mr. Erkal and Ms. Nazlı! We consulted them for the complete renovation of our newly purchased house in Bodrum. After a few meetings, they presented us with a wonderful proposal. They delivered the concept we wanted far beyond our expectations. They were always with us during the product selection process, making everything much easier. They delivered the house on the date they promised, fully completed in every detail. When we saw our home, we couldn’t believe our eyes; everything exceeded our expectations. The quality of the materials used and the craftsmanship were excellent. Communication with them was very easy; they listen carefully to the client’s needs and successfully reflect them in the design.
We had the opportunity to work with Monotone Architecture for the restoration of our historical property in Sarıyer. By showing meticulous follow-up and skilled workmanship in every detail of this Grade 2 Historical Property, they restored the building to its original splendor. Thank you.
We had the chance to meet Monotone Architecture and Mr. Erkal when we moved into our new office in Ataşehir, Istanbul. The main reasons we chose them were their reliability, on-time delivery, professional work ethics, and dynamic ideas that made our office stylish, comfortable, and modern for both myself and my young team. As a result, their dedicated work produced a high-quality outcome. I would like to thank him and his team and recommend Monotone Architecture to anyone seeking architectural solutions for their work or living spaces.
We first met Monotone Architecture a few years ago during the design and implementation process of our headquarters, and we were extremely satisfied with the outcome. With the expansion of our global business volume, we once again worked with Monotone Architecture to create an enlargement that would align with our corporate identity and existing office style. We prefer them for their approach to design, execution, and professional ethics. Furthermore, the positive feedback we receive from our guests reminds us every time that we made the right choice. Therefore, we would like to thank Monotone Architecture and their team once again.
We received interior design services from Mr. Erkal and Ms. Nazlı for the renovation of our home. They transformed a derelict property into a wonderful living space for us with appropriate, essential, innovative, and unique architectural perspectives. They are always reachable, meticulously examine every detail, take immediate action, keep you informed throughout the processes, and fully meet customer expectations. With endless thanks to their team, Mr. Erkal, and Ms. Nazlı — we’re so glad you exist, Monotone.
In 2021, during the pandemic, we worked with Monotone to complete every architectural detail of our new home. They were attentive even to the smallest details, and despite the challenges of the pandemic, everything was completed smoothly. The quality of the materials and the designs were exactly to our liking, and we use them with pleasure. After our own home, we also worked with Monotone Architecture on my mother-in-law’s house, completing that process with the same care and satisfaction. Many thanks to Ms. Nazlı, Mr. Erkal, and the whole team.
As the Özgür family, when organizing the home where we will spend the second half of our lives, we wanted to work with a professional team to avoid previous disappointments. Through the references of some of our neighbors, we met Mr. Erkal. He took what we had in mind and filtered it through his professional architectural perspective, delivering results that exceeded our expectations. Endless thanks for making our dream home a reality.
As Starplas Chemicals, we are delighted to have worked with Monotone Architecture on our new office project. The professionalism they demonstrated during and after the project, the comfort they provided, and their attention were all met with great praise by our suppliers, employees, and clients. The meticulousness they showed in the design and implementation of our office exceeded our expectations. We once again thank Monotone for standing by us and supporting us at every stage of this process.
For the boutique apartment we built on Marmara Island, we received design and implementation services from Monotone Architecture, and we were extremely satisfied. Despite it being a small-scale residential block, they developed a plan that ensured each apartment had a sea view. The interiors were designed with modern and aesthetic materials in line with the island’s character. We were very pleased with the service they provided.
After meeting Monotone Architecture, we asked for their help in changing the interior architecture of our contractor-built home. It turned out magnificent — exactly the design we wanted, and we are very pleased. Everything is solid and of great quality; especially the wooden details continue to serve us perfectly. Many thanks to Mr. Erkal, Ms. Nazlı, and everyone else on the team. If you are looking for quality, tasteful design, and sincerity, I definitely recommend Monotone. When we purchase our next home, we will definitely work with Monotone again!
