Every estimate starts with a detailed site survey. Cost depends on the building's condition, heritage status, required craftsmanship, and materials. After the survey we provide a transparent, itemised proposal — no hidden figures.
Book a consultation. We'll discuss your goals, visit the site, and prepare a feasibility assessment covering design direction, permits, timeline, and budget before any commitment.
Consulting engagements run from a few weeks; full restorations typically take 8–18 months depending on scale, permits, and the level of craftsmanship required. We provide a detailed schedule at the planning stage.
Yes — every design phase includes photorealistic 3D visualisations so you can walk through the space and approve every detail before work begins on site.
Our studio is based in Istanbul, but we run projects across Europe and the Mediterranean. For international work we partner with vetted local contractors and heritage authorities.
