Melis Varol
Co-founder, Head of Design
With a background in architecture and years of experience designing private homes for international clients, she is closely involved in shaping each project’s spatial logic, material direction, and overall coherence.
​
Melis works hands-on with the design team throughout the process, ensuring that each project remains consistent from early concepts through to final detailing. Her role is not to impose a signature style, but to guide the design with clarity, proportion, and long-term usability in mind.

How working with an Istanbul-based interior designer works
1. Understanding the brief
You share your plans, photos, videos, and expectations. We start with a structured briefing call.
2. Design development
We develop layouts, 3D visuals, and material directions, refining the design with your feedback.
3. Furniture production & Shipping
We coordinate furniture production and sourcing through trusted Turkish manufacturers. We support the process through production, logistics coordination, and final clarification.
All communication is handled in English, with clear documentation at every stage.
