ALHUDAIB VILLA

PORTFOLIO — Istanbul, Turkey

This private villa architecture in Istanbul reinterprets contemporary minimalism by treating structural mass as a sculptural entity. Positioned to engage with the natural terrain, the design trades traditional solid perimeter walls for bold, stacked rectangular volumes and extensive floor-to-ceiling glass envelopes. The architecture establishes an intentional visual tension between heavy, grounded stone surfaces and dramatic, floating cantilevers that reach out toward the landscape.

The exterior architecture utilizes a multi-level layout of intersecting horizontal planes. A heavy, dark-textured natural stone block forms the foundational anchor of the lower level, supporting an upper residential volume finished in smooth white architectural render that cantilevers sharply over the outdoor terrace. Floor-to-ceiling panoramic glass panels completely dissolve the barrier between indoor spaces and manicured lawns.
