Located on a triangular corner lot within Uçhisar’s historic village core, this project proposes a new building.

Although the 33 m² triangular footprint poses a challenging geometry, it has been turned into an advantage through efficient design solutions.

On the façade, a ground-floor arch—common throughout the village—has been employed, while the upper floor features triangular cantilevered bays (cumbas). In keeping with local architectural typology, the bays rest on stone brackets and are trimmed with ornamental moldings. By blending the parcel’s demanding form with vernacular know-how, the design creates a street frontage that harmonizes with the existing fabric.

The load-bearing walls are built as solid masonry using local stone and traditional construction techniques. Floors combine reinforced-concrete slabs, hezen (timber-beam) decking, and steel profiles. The rock-carved spaces within the plot have been preserved with minimal intervention apart from structural support, leaving the original feed-trough niches visible for display.

Ergonomic solutions make the most of the limited floor area, and contemporary details—such as steel-spined stairs and vertical balustrades—bring traditional and modern approaches together in this “Small House.”

The building comprises two bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, a living area, an open kitchen, a terrace, and a balcony.
