Ipek Koray Design

With her 25 years of professional experience, Ipek Koray conducts her architectural and interior design work from her office situated in the historical Arnavutkoy District of Istanbul. A four-storey Greek building established in 1921, this stone structure had been painstakingly restored, ‘preserving this gift of architecture bestowed upon us.’ The characteristics of the building such as the high ceilings, 40cm carrier brick walls, stucco embellishments, mosaic tiles and marble stairs of excellent workmanship, provide not only inspiration for the team’s young designers, but also act as beacons of guidance. Seasonal colors, light and transitions offered by the Bosporus, blending with the cacophony of the vendors, cats and dogs of the street, render our office a creative production center; giving rise to our slogan: “Respect the Past; Trust the Future”. Our ultimate goal is to generate creative and courageous designs and spaces with ample personality.
