Caddebostan House: A Modern Masterpiece in Istanbul created by escapefromsofa.


PROJECTS 09.01.24

Situated in the vibrant Caddebostan district of Istanbul, the Caddebostan House is a vision of modern sophistication, brought to life by the design studio escapefromsofa. Spanning over 170m², this luxurious duplex apartment is a fusion of comfort, functionality, and creative refinement. The design balances clean architectural lines with the warmth of tactile materials, creating a comfortable and stylish home.


The layout of the home is centred around large, open-plan living and dining areas, perfectly illustrated by the integration of rich natural textures and bespoke furnishings. The open living area has a refined and welcoming ambiance, with plush seating paired with sculptural side tables and bold accent colors. The glass coffee table becomes a focal point, effortlessly combining functionality with artistry. Bespoke cane chairs with natural wood finishes, including the iconic Chandigarh Chairs by Pierre Jeanneret, bring a sense of grounded simplicity to the space, while the backdrop of wood-paneled walls and cascading sunlight highlights the room’s depth and layers.

The homeowners, passionate collectors of contemporary art, sought a home that felt like a private gallery. escapefromsofa embraced this vision, with standout pieces like the large portrait of a Scarlett Johansson in the living area adding both drama and personality. A vibrant red rug adds an additional layer of warmth, contrasting elegantly with the neutral tones of the walls and floors.

The dining area highlights a blend of practicality and style. A sculptural Louis Poulsen PH Artichoke pendant light anchors the space, casting intricate shadows across the sleek custom dining table. The bold blue table base in the dining area adds an unexpected pop of colour, enhancing the room’s artistic narrative.


The commitment to natural materials is evident throughout the home. Eucalyptus and oak veneer wall panels create a warm, inviting atmosphere, while Mutenya wood parquet flooring evokes a sense of enduring charm with its dark, reddish hues. The staircase combines Iranian travertine with a minimalist wood handrail, blending rustic charm with modernism. 


The meticulous craftsmanship is further emphasized in the kitchen, where sleek Bianco Carrara marble countertops are paired with deep green cabinetry and custom-designed wooden finishes. Barstool chairs by Tom Dixon complement with their subtle sophistication. The Tekio Horizontal ceiling light by Santa & Cole adds a sculptural element, whilst the wooden paneling surrounding the kitchen creates a seamless connection with the rest of the home, enhancing its cohesive design.


The cane detailing on the bed frame and matching side tables echoes the natural materials used throughout the home, creating a cohesive design language. Missoni cushions provide a playful yet refined touch, enhancing the room’s tactile charm. The adjacent dressing room, with its custom-built cabinetry and warm wooden flooring, offers a sanctuary of structured style.


The bathrooms reveal walnut cabinetry paired with pristine Bianco Carrara marble countertops, achieving a refined, earthy look. A custom walnut-framed mirror adds a soft, organic touch, while accent lighting creates an intimate ambiance. In the powder room, dark red marble contrasts dramatically with the lighter tones found elsewhere, making a bold design statement.

The wall art by artists Sevim Kaya and Çağatay Odabaş becomes an intrinsic part of the design, effortlessly merging the realms of interior and artistic expression. The textured wall pieces in the dining area further reflect the tactile narrative present throughout the home.

The Caddebostan House, designed by escapefromsofa, is more than a living space; it is a statement of modern luxury and artistic individuality. Through a careful selection of materials, bespoke furnishings, and a commitment to craftsmanship, the designers have created a home that is both a functional sanctuary and a gallery of curated beauty. Each element reflects a space where modern design blends with personal expression.
