Bodrum Houses by Richard Meier

Perched above the glistening Agean Sea in the village of Yalıkavak, the 21 houses designed by Richard Meier embrace the elegant timelessness of the Turkish coast. Secluded and intimate, yet only a short distance from the vital resort city of Bodrum, this rare collection of homes offers a modern celebration of the classic Turkish outdoor living experience. Five prototypes are offered, each with multiple bedrooms, double-height living spaces with skylighting and fireplaces, as well as a private pool terrace, cabana and a guest house. Each home, nestled into the dramatically steep hillside overlooking Yalıkavak Bay and the sea beyond, invites the radiant light and incomparable views. In keeping with the passion for simplicity embodied by this unique part of the world, a deliberately restrained approach has been taken with materials and design. With this extraordinary palette Richard Meier brings us a sanctuary for the future.
