KEY URLA

Key Urla is a boutique hotel rooted in the elemental qualities of its context. Drawing upon natural stone, earth tones, and vernacular forms, the project seeks to offer guests a spatial experience that feels at once familiar and timeless.

Our design contribution focused on the interiors of the lobby and the restaurant, conceived as the central spaces of encounter and hospitality. Here, the architectural vocabulary extends from the region’s vernacular—courtyards, shaded thresholds, tactile materials—and is reinterpreted through a contemporary lens.

The interiors were approached with an atelier sensibility, where material honesty and craft informed each decision. Stone surfaces, textured plasters, and timber details create a tactile continuity with the landscape, while the warm, muted palette reinforces a sense of grounded comfort.

In this way, the lobby and restaurant are designed not only as functional nodes, but as spatial anchors for the hotel experience—places where the natural character of Urla is translated into a contemporary architectural language of hospitality.
