Architect and Designer        (June 2023–Ongoing)

After I founded Bea+ my first project was Kocaeli Traffic Surveillance Building which was a restoration and expansion project. The problems here were the lack of sound insulation and insufficient capacity. After they rejected 2 proposals about there , they reached me and in my design I tried to create more playful and spacious spaces. This design breaks away from the classic government building look and enriches the interior with different colour palettes and materials.

My second project , Güney House was a interior design work for newly married couple. This flat, which already has low ceilings, has been designed with more modern furnishings to create a light and spacious atmosphere.
