Kanyon Residence sits within one of Istanbul's most renowned residential complexes, a compact 90 m² apartment in the center of the city, conceived as a modern city home. The brief was to bring the energy of the metropolis inside, and each space carries its own trace of color, read continuously from one room to the next, the way a layered city reveals itself street by street.

Color sets the register of each room. The living room runs energetic and saturated, its charge echoed in a piece by Ahmet Oran; toward the bedroom the palette neutralizes into something calmer, held by the quieter linear work of Selim Birsel. In the bathroom, a green microcement made for the project meets a marble washbasin chosen to contrast with the wall.

At the core, a curved partition in cherry-red stained oak veneer organizes the apartment, drawing the living room and bedroom into one another and absorbing the door into its surface until the threshold disappears. Every function turns around it, so the red panel stays in view from any position in the house. Even the utilities are composed: two Jean Prouvé–inspired panels slide to conceal the radiators behind them, shifting between oak and lacquer as the room asks for emphasis or quiet.
