irem akbaĹ&#x; | interior design portfolio
Factory 28 is a working and living complex designed for a dystopian science fiction movie Desperos. Desperos is the name of the fictional country in the movie. Citizens of Desperos are forced to believe that the nature is destroyed, so they live in these complex buildings where their all needs are provided. In the building, transportation is provided by moving walkways and workers follow the route specified for them by directors. The social space where they pass by every day is a reward which they can get only if they work hundred percent efficiently. Even though citizens believe that they are safe in Factory 28, in time they become products that come from an assembly line.

kuşadası hotel | aydın Bej Mimarlık 2020
Kuşadası Hotel is a boutique hotel with its 15 rooms. It is on the beachside and has a great sea view. The hotel was used as a house before, so both the interior functions and the shell of the building are totally redesigned. The design can be described as "modest luxury". The repetitive use of arches, natural materials, and neutral colors are the key factors of the design.
