Tide Flux 

Tide Flux is a personal retreat designed based on the tranquil and happy holiday memories I spent with my family during my childhood. For me, this project is not only a house but also a place where I can reconnect with the warm memories of my past. The time I spent with my family by the sea, listening to the sound of the waves, relaxing together, having conversations, and creating beautiful memories became the main inspiration for this design. The form of the building is directly connected to these memories. The curved shape, inspired by a water droplet, represents both my connection to the sea and the holiday memories that still remain with me today. In this project, water is not only a physical element but also a symbol of tranquility, calmness, and nostalgia. The embracing form of the building is designed to create feelings of safety, belonging, and comfort. In this way, the space reflects the warmth of family and the feeling of being in a place where you truly belong. Located by the seaside and partially nestled within a coastal rock formation, Tide Flux is imagined as a shelter where people can step away from the stress of daily life and find both mental and physical relaxation. With its expansive glass walls, the sea view, natural daylight, and the sound of water become part of everyday life inside the house. Reading a book, drinking coffee, listening to music, watching movies, or simply enjoying the view are all part of the experience. As a user, I can start my day with the sound of the sea, do my morning exercise, and spend the day in a tranquil atmosphere. In the evening, I can watch the sunset, remember beautiful moments from my past, and create new memories. Tide Flux is a personal living space that brings together tranquility, family warmth, a sense of belonging, and unforgettable holiday memories.

         

 

Current Together 

Current Together is designed as the main gathering space of Riverside Oba. It is not only a common area, but also the place that connects the whole project socially and emotionally. Located above the river in Soğanlı Valley, this space brings users together through the calm movement of water, shared activities, and a warm daily atmosphere. The main idea of the project is tranquility. The river becomes more than a natural element; it turns into a shared experience. Its sound, flow, and reflection create a tranquil aura where people can slow down, relax, and feel away from the stress of daily life. The structure has a light and open character, allowing users to feel connected with the landscape rather than separated from it. Open platforms, seating areas, and activity spaces support both social interaction and personal rest. In everyday life, Current Together works like the heart of Riverside Oba. A user can come here in the morning to do sport near the river, sit quietly, or watch the sunlight on the water. During the day, people can fish, sunbathe, play games, or spend time with their feet close to the water. In the evening, the space becomes more social. Friends gather around the barbecue, eat together, talk, laugh, and watch the sunset over the valley while enjoying the tranquil atmosphere. This place represents a warm and sincere environment where people can relax and leave their worries behind for a while. It is a space where users clear their minds, rest, feel happy, and create meaningful memories together. Current Together aims to create a comfortable holiday like atmosphere where people can enjoy nature, friendship, and the calming presence of water. By bringing these elements together, the project offers a shared experience based on tranquility, relaxation, and a sense of belonging.
