This beautiful example of traditional Turkish architecture represents a three-story residential building with pronounced characteristics of Ottoman style. The facade is clad with white wooden panels with elegant green framing, creating a clear visual contrast and emphasizing the architectural lines. Particular attention is drawn to the projecting second floor with a traditional cantilever, known as "cumba" - a characteristic element of Ottoman urban architecture.
Windows with green frames harmoniously blend into the overall composition, while numerous flower pots and boxes on windowsills and balconies add picturesqueness and homely comfort. The traditional wooden entrance door with panels on the first floor is made of natural wood in a warm shade, creating a welcoming accent against the white house facade.
A distinctive feature of the construction is the presence of protruding bay windows and balconies with decorative metal railings, which not only expands the living space but also creates an interesting play of light and shadow on the facade. The Turkish flag emphasizes the national identity of the architectural style. The tiled roof with a small overhang completes the composition, giving the building a traditional Mediterranean appearance.
When designing modern homes, one could adopt techniques such as contrasting framing of window and door openings, the use of cantilevered projections to create interesting architectural solutions, as well as the integration of landscaping elements directly into the structure of the facade to give it picturesqueness and individuality.
