A HOUSE

A HOUSE is a residential project by escapefromsofa, conceived as a serene hillside retreat where monumental architecture meets the timeless landscape of Bademli. The residence embraces the sweeping panorama of Bursa’s countryside, grounding itself in natural stone while opening generously to the horizon.

The design draws from the region’s earthy character with a material palette of travertine cladding, warm oak, and dark marble. Sculptural metal pieces punctuate the stone facades, while Italian cypress trees and ancient bonsai define the courtyard, lending a meditative rhythm to the approach. Inside, a dramatic curved staircase with a glass balustrade descends beneath a Moooi Raimond chandelier, establishing the interplay between craft and light that runs through every space. The living area centres on a floor-to-ceiling Port Laurent marble fireplace flanked by tall floor lamps and tufted leather seating, where oak flooring with custom dark-wood inlay details adds a layer of quiet refinement.

The kitchen and dining areas are framed by black vertical slat partitions that filter views without closing them, creating a sense of layered depth. Bold pendant lighting in deep red glass anchors the dining table, while the open kitchen keeps its lines minimal and its surfaces pale. Private quarters continue the warm, restrained tone with upholstered headboards, sculptural bedside lamps, and floor-to-ceiling joinery in muted tones. Outside, an infinity pool stretches toward the valley, and a centuries-old olive tree stands as the garden’s centrepiece — illuminated at dusk against the soft colours of the Bademli sky.
