Traditional wood construction mansion has 4 stories with over 1000 m2 of living space where each floor has been developed with their unique characteristics and differences from each other by following the original taste of historic Turkish mansion design principles. Conserving the exterior facade had been the primary focus and simple and harmless methods were developed in order to improve its appearence in the most charming ways.
