The Wonderful Exploded House by Global Architectural Development
Turkey as a Mediterranean country has a long history in architecture design. House design growth since three thousands years ago. A lot of great architects was born from turkey. And now to recall the past glory, Global Architectural Development design the Exploded House in Bodrum, Southwest of Turkey.
The Exploded House was built on the hill which has wonderful views. GAD has successfully combine the old Turkey style with minimalist style and bring the ancient atmosphere in modern era. This house divided into three parts – a metaphor for a single building that has been “exploded†into many parts. Each individual unit, which complies with the regulatory size of 75 square meters, is built next to one another with a narrow space in between and is linked by a glass atrium. Conceived as a single house, each building has a separate function: a master bedroom and bathroom; a kitchen and dining room; and a guesthouse with an adjacent study room.
The “Exploded House†reinterprets traditional dwellings in the area, yet its angular structure that fits into the clefts in the hillside, remains in keeping with the natural environment and when seen from above the pools mirror the surrounding landscape and the endless vista of the bay and help mask the presence of the building on the hill.
Interior design: Owner has a vast antique collection, which consist of Hellenistic, Byzantine and Ottoman times. Generally there is always a problem for collectors houses :to turn to a museum.. Info structural conditions like the climate, daylight-artificial light and security become more dominant than the daily life.
Interior designer Hakan Ezer successfully achieved to integrate these valuable collection pieces to the daily life without loosing the functionality. In addition to this, we should not forget the owner couple’s open-mindness and preference of a livable house rather than a museum house.
