A rare, unrepeated private family residence designed by Kengo Kuma. A masterpiece of Japanese craft integrated into an irreplaceable coastal landscape.

Few architects have reshaped the language of contemporary architecture as profoundly as Kengo Kuma. 

“In Japan we have what we call onsen culture, a tradition connecting bathing with nature, relaxation, and ritual. We wanted to bring something of that spirit to the gardens of Kaplankaya.”

“Turkish architecture has a strong courtyard tradition. Overhanging roofs are common in Turkey as well, and in that respect there are similarities with Japanese architecture.”

An opportunity like no other.
