Karapınar House
Located in the olive groves of Urla, this modest yet profound timber house was designed by Selçuk Avcı as a personal gift to his mother. With its modular rhythm, natural materials, and seamless dialogue with the landscape, the house stands as a quiet manifesto for sustainable and human-centered living.
A home that whispers to the land.
A Gesture of Architecture, A Gesture of Love
In the quiet hills of Urla, among the vineyards and olive groves brushed by the Aegean wind, a modest house lightly touches the earth. It was never intended to shout. Instead, it whispers — of care, of place, of belonging. Designed by Selçuk Avcı as a gift for his mother, Karapınar House is a deeply personal work: a home where nature and nurture intertwine.
Warm tones, natural textures, and curated details create an atmosphere of comfort and intimacy.
Interiors of Warmth and Intimacy
Inside, the design mirrors the same restraint and sensitivity. Natural light filters through generous openings, illuminating simple, tactile materials. Wood, stone, and soft colors create a calm and nurturing atmosphere, while the layout fosters both intimacy and openness. The interior becomes an extension of its natural surroundings, offering a serene retreat deeply connected to daily life.
