This is a beautiful example of traditional Ottoman architecture embodied in an elegant two-story mansion. The building façade demonstrates the classic features of a Turkish residential house — white walls contrasting with wooden elements in warm brown tones. Particularly notable are the characteristic large windows with mullioned frames, bordered by wooden casings, creating a rhythmic visual pattern across the façade.
The upper floor features a traditional bay window slightly overhanging the first floor — a technique typical of Ottoman urban architecture. The triangular pediment on the roof adds verticality and monumentality to the building. The ground floor is adorned with an arcade supported by columns, creating a transitional space between interior and exterior — an element that could be adapted when designing the façade of a modern home to create a cozy veranda or porch.
The mansion is surrounded by a stone fence with tile coping that harmoniously complements the main building. Tall cypress trees create a natural frame for the architectural composition, while the mountainous landscape in the background emphasizes the connection between the architecture and its location. The color palette of the façade — white with terracotta and brown accents — reflects the traditional approach to home design in the Mediterranean region.
