"The Ritz-Carlton Residences, Istanbul sit quietly at the end of Valikonağı Street. Each home and surrounding common areas benefit equally from the landscape and light, an infusion of life that matches the vibrant energy of Nişantaşı. The architects' general design idea is to tell the story of life as it is lived inside the building. This approach is evident in the flexible layout of the apartments and has turned the structure into an icon of Nişantaşı living. The project was designed by Tanju Özelgin as a contemporary interpretation of the design spirit of the 1970s. Without changing the main character of the structure, a new design was developed to serve as a natural extension of the existing building while meeting modern day needs. A dark color was preferred to ease the massive feel of the building and to maintain a harmonious look with the surrounding buildings. It was designed to have a solemn, calm and respectable character. Imagine a home not only defined by sophisticated and luxurious finishes but equipped to deliver legendary Ritz-Carlton service. The Residences offer curated living spaces with exquisitely crafted interiors and unparalleled service for a discerning global audience."
