Located in the rural landscape of Çanakkale, the project is set on a sloping terrain, where differences in elevation are connected through gradual transitions and landscape interventions, creating a settlement that integrates seamlessly with its natural surroundings. Rather than maximizing the development potential permitted by the zoning plan, the building was designed only to the extent required by its needs, limiting spatial consumption and minimizing physical intervention on the site.

The architectural configuration consists of a two-storey main volume complemented by two single-storey side volumes. A gallery void within the main volume creates vertical spatial continuity in the living area while also generating a sense of spaciousness and a bright, airy interior atmosphere through its generous volume.

In the selection of materials, natural stone masonry was preferred for the exterior envelope in order to preserve the character of the surrounding rural fabric and establish an architectural language in harmony with the local context. Inside, earthen panels and clay plaster were used to passively support thermal and hygrothermal comfort. This combination of natural materials allows the building envelope to remain vapor-permeable, contributing to the healthy and natural regulation of indoor humidity and temperature. In the detailing, priority was likewise given to timber flooring, joinery, and other natural materials, reinforcing the project’s holistic approach to material selection.
