Pelican Hill villas are defined as Turkey's largest villa project, spread across a vast area of 2000 acres in four phases and consisting of a total of 713 villas. With a total cost of 1 billion dollars, this project draws attention not only for its size but also for its lake view. At Pelican Hill, the grandeur of California architecture merges with the warm lines of the Mediterranean. Located in Büyükçekmece, Istanbul, where the sea meets the lake, different types and sizes of villas are situated. The conceptual architectural project of Pelican Hill is signed by Robert F. Tyler, one of the architects from RNM Architects in California, while the landscape project was undertaken by Italian architect Paolo Spaziani. The villas are delivered as completed exterior shells, with the interiors shaped according to the owners' tastes.

In this unique project, the D.R.K. House, located in the first phase, is a three-story villa built on a 3000 square meter plot with a total usable area (net area) of 1100 square meters, entirely designed according to the tastes, special needs, and lifestyles of its users.

The entrance level of the structure features a gallery hall, a dining room, a kitchen that can also be used as a living room, an office, and an indoor garden. On the first floor overlooking the gallery hall, there is a youth suite room and a guest room, while a spacious master suite (90 square meters) is located on the west facade. The garden level, where almost all daily living takes place, includes a spacious living room, a kitchen, a guest suite, and a cinema room, while the west facade opens to the spa area, which is complemented by a Turkish bath, sauna, and a spacious gym.

In the garden, the existing pool has been expanded and supported with cooling pools, proportionate to the grandeur of the villa. This area, integrated with the landscape design, aims to transform every moment into a peaceful experience.

The decoration of the villa reflects influences from Ottoman and Seljuk architecture. The fireplace cladding made of Küfeki stone in the gallery hall is a magnificent work of art.

This design approach, which combines the grandeur of the past with the simple yet sophisticated touches of today, presents a distinct delicacy and elegance in every corner. The natural materials used create a sense of warmth and authenticity that permeates the spirit of the space. Solid woods, marble details, and delicately crafted embellishments adorn the space with a timeless identity, while modern lines balance this historical texture, achieving a harmony that challenges time.

The richness and depth hidden in the details of Ottoman architecture tell a different story in each room of the villa, while the clarity and serene nature of contemporary decor present this grandeur without excess. High ceilings, large windows, and spacious living areas make the villa both enchanting and soothing, with the natural stones, wooden finishes, and soft color palettes used throughout the space evoking a sense of living in harmony with nature.

This design approach transcends mere aesthetic appearance, transforming the villa into a timeless structure independent of trends. Every detail integrates with the lifestyle and character of its owners, creating a work that feels custom-designed for them. The owners of the house enjoy the pleasure of having both the grandeur of the past and the comforts of the modern world, and every experience the space offers becomes a part of this sophisticated lifestyle. Thus, the villa transforms into not just a structure, but also a living space that forms a deep connection with its owners, reflecting their identity and touching their souls.
