It is designed to be a quiet\u00a0and productive\u00a0place to escape from a busy life. The main idea of this project is\u00a0to produce from the nature\u00a0itself\u00a0.\u00a0The design uses simple timber (wood) geometry. Wood is a very natural material. Because of the wood, the building feels warm, safe, and honest. The clean lines of the wooden shapes help the building sit quietly in nature.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">A very big part of the Escapecore idea is &#8220;sensory memories.&#8221; It is\u00a0bringing old garden memories in.\u00a0When people walk inside this retreat, they can touch the natural wood walls. They can smell the fresh air and feel the soft wind moving through the rooms. These small details help people remember good and comfortable feelings.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The connection to the garden is also very important for this project. The building is placed carefully next to the natural garden elements. Instead of using thick walls to block nature, the design invites the garden inside. There are open spaces\u00a0for producing naturalist things. These openings\u00a0also\u00a0let the warm sunlight shine inside. The sunlight changes the feeling of the rooms from morning to night. The garden is not just a picture to look at; it is a main part of the\u00a0production and architecture\u00a0itself.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In the end, Escapecore is a simple and peaceful design. It respects the\u00a0productivity\u00a0of nature and the power of human memories. With its basic shapes and natural materials, it gives people a calm place to slow down, breathe, and rest.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-7778\" src=\"http:\/\/archworks.agu.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/poster-1-214x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"717\" height=\"1005\" srcset=\"http:\/\/archworks.agu.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/poster-1-214x300.jpg 214w, http:\/\/archworks.agu.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/poster-1-730x1024.jpg 730w, http:\/\/archworks.agu.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/poster-1-768x1078.jpg 768w, http:\/\/archworks.agu.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/poster-1-1459x2048.jpg 1459w, http:\/\/archworks.agu.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/poster-1.jpg 1588w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 717px) 100vw, 717px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-7779\" src=\"http:\/\/archworks.agu.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1-300x217.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"412\" height=\"298\" srcset=\"http:\/\/archworks.agu.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1-300x217.jpeg 300w, http:\/\/archworks.agu.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1-1024x742.jpeg 1024w, http:\/\/archworks.agu.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1-768x556.jpeg 768w, http:\/\/archworks.agu.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1-1536x1112.jpeg 1536w, http:\/\/archworks.agu.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 412px) 100vw, 412px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-7780\" src=\"http:\/\/archworks.agu.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/3-300x294.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"305\" height=\"299\" srcset=\"http:\/\/archworks.agu.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/3-300x294.jpeg 300w, http:\/\/archworks.agu.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/3-1024x1002.jpeg 1024w, http:\/\/archworks.agu.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/3-768x752.jpeg 768w, http:\/\/archworks.agu.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/3-1536x1504.jpeg 1536w, http:\/\/archworks.agu.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/3.jpeg 1760w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 305px) 100vw, 305px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-7781\" src=\"http:\/\/archworks.agu.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/7-300x241.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"369\" height=\"296\" srcset=\"http:\/\/archworks.agu.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/7-300x241.jpeg 300w, http:\/\/archworks.agu.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/7-1024x824.jpeg 1024w, http:\/\/archworks.agu.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/7-768x618.jpeg 768w, http:\/\/archworks.agu.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/7-1536x1235.jpeg 1536w, http:\/\/archworks.agu.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/7.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 369px) 100vw, 369px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-7782\" src=\"http:\/\/archworks.agu.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/8-300x254.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"348\" height=\"295\" srcset=\"http:\/\/archworks.agu.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/8-300x254.jpeg 300w, http:\/\/archworks.agu.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/8-1024x868.jpeg 1024w, http:\/\/archworks.agu.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/8-768x651.jpeg 768w, http:\/\/archworks.agu.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/8-1536x1301.jpeg 1536w, http:\/\/archworks.agu.edu.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/8.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 348px) 100vw, 348px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Crafted\u00a0Heaven:\u00a0An Escapecore Oba<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Located in the natural beauty of the\u00a0So\u011fanl\u0131\u00a0Valley,\u00a0<\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Crafted Heaven\u00a0<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">is an &#8220;oba&#8221; designed\u00a0with a community building.
