AHAMA
HOTEL

GÖCEK, TURKEY
2024

Ahama is located in Göcek, Turkey, surrounded by sacred liquidambar forests and turquoise waters. We embraced this pristine setting, creating a design that seamlessly integrates with the landscape and offers guests an experience deeply rooted in nature’s rhythms. Light is the central element in Ahama’s design, drawing from the region’s heritage as the "land of light." We shaped each space to amplify natural illumination, enhancing the connection between architecture and nature. Inspired by Japanese principles, we designed spaces using natural materials to evoke serenity and simplicity.

Inside the bungalows, muted earthy tones inspired by nature create a calming atmosphere. Textural elements like taupe, linen, wood, jute, and natural stones layer together, adding depth and warmth while enhancing the serene feeling of the space.
