Finding spatial solutions since 1986...
Founded in Ankara, Uygur Architects has been creating urban and architectural projects since 1986. The firm is particularly known for its distinctive work on cultural and educational buildings, while also possessing extensive experience in large-scale, high-profile private and public office buildings. Their portfolio includes not only architecture but also interior design, renovation, and spatial identity projects for exclusive brands.
A core value in the practice is the interpretation—and often redefinition—of the project brief. Rather than taking requirements as fixed, Uygur Architects engages in a dialogic process with clients to adapt and refine functional needs as part of the design journey. This collaborative approach ensures that each project responds not only to practical necessities but also to the broader cultural and social context.
Uygur Architects believes that architecture must address not only its direct users but also those indirectly affected by the built environment. This understanding forms the foundation of what they call “Intermutual Architecture”—an approach where buildings are designed to foster well-being for their users, while also enriching the daily experience of those who pass by, observe, or inhabit the same urban setting.
The firm embraces a multidisciplinary and context-sensitive design process, aiming for holistic and innovative outcomes. Each project is treated as an opportunity to create environments that are not only functional and efficient but also emotionally and socially resonant.
