#panoramic-views

The view from any of Istanbul's rooftop bars and restaurants back down its sloping streets is a sight to behold. Situated on the banks of the Bosphorus river and the Golden Horn estuary, the undulating landscape of the City on the Seven Hills rises dramatically from the waters' edge, its streets dotted with glittering skyscrapers and astonishing historical landmarks. And, naturally, there are plenty of places to eat, drink, and take in the phenomenal views.

The house is positioned on the site with the aim of responding in a relatively simple way to two central questions: How can it capture a panoramic view of the horizon, which also brings us the presence of the sea? How can it embrace outdoor spaces that simultaneously protect the residents' privacy from neighbors' views and ensure comfort on days of strong wind?
