Private Residence in Istanbul
This historic villa, located on the bank of the
Bosporus, has been restored with a modern
and contemporary twist.
Capoferri provided the façade for this
residence, which offers a stunning and
exclusive view and encapsulates, thanks to
highly sound-absorbing lift&slide windows,
an oasis of peace in a city as frenetic as
Istanbul.
The exterior is an ensemble of lines and
geometries, juxtaposing the vertical
movement of the knee-fold sun-breaking
panels and the horizontal cladding of the
ventilated façade.
While Mahogany has been the timber chosen
for the windows, Capoferri opted for Red
Cedar for the cladding. Both timbers are of
the highest quality and very resistant to moist
ambient, offering different features, well
known to Capoferri and carefully chosen to
provide the best performance, resistance and
durability for each specific application.
