The MDNY House reimagines traditional courtyard living, uniting three generations in a dynamic residence that balances panoramic Marmara Sea views, southern fruit orchards, and communal living spaces.
The MDNY House is a residence intended to serve three generations within one complex, and to re-evaluate traditional spatial relationships within the house. The residence consists of two sweeping residential wings, including a family & bachelor villa, connected by a flexible semi-open gallery with panoramic views of the Marmara Sea. This is a courtyard scheme, anchored on its four corners by the two villas, a guest wing, and an office/workshop. Opposite the approach and views to the sea, the courtyard opens up to a vast fruit orchard to the south, with a view to the valley and to the city of Bursa. A spa & gym occupy the space below the courtyard, and a gentle slope allows these spaces to also benefit from views to the Marmara Sea.
