Perched on the scenic Bosphorus Coast in Istanbul, escapefromsofa’s 181 House project transforms a historic property into a luxurious, contemporary home. Set on a 4000 m² plot in Anadolu Hisarı, this residence merges the rich cultural heritage of its location with a refined, modern design that captures escapefromsofa’s signature sophistication.
Escapefromsofa’s design at 181 House merges historical Ottoman-era elements with a modern aesthetic. The entrance hall opens into a grand living area defined by travertine stone columns, curved wall paneling, and a central niche window framing the Bosphorus view. Adjacent, the dining room with arched windows and a stone table continues the curved architecture, while an integrated stone fireplace creates a warm ambiance. A 300 m² terrace enhances indoor-outdoor flow, embracing the coastal scenery.
On the upper floor, the master suite offers a serene atmosphere with oak frames, soft lighting, and a pale stone en-suite. Two children’s rooms and a family living area complete this floor. Under the onion-domed roof, a round table provides panoramic views of the Bosphorus, and an observation terrace highlights the home’s unique location. The attic features a family gathering space, ideal for relaxation and enjoying the views.
181 House exemplifies escapefromsofa’s skill in blending heritage with contemporary luxury. With custom furnishings, natural materials, and a design that harmonizes with the Bosphorus setting, this home captures both the historical essence and modern elegance, creating a timeless sanctuary along Istanbul’s coast.
