About the project
21Residences
340Olive trees kept
4.2 haOf grove
Twenty-one homes where the grove meets the Aegean, built in stone, oak and lime.
For three hundred years these terraces held olives, not houses. We kept the trees, rebuilt the walls by hand and placed each home where the hillside already made room for one.
Explore residencesThe living roomLime walls, oak floors and a long view of the bay.

Architecture
Built the way the hill was farmed.
The architects drew the site before they drew a single house. Scroll through the section to see how each rule shapes it.
02 / 03
Height
Stay below the trees
No roof rises above the olive canopy. From the bay you see the grove first, then a few pale walls between the branches.
03 / 03
Light
Open to the west
Living rooms face the bay and the evening sun. Deep eaves and oak shutters keep the summer heat outside.
Residences
Three terraces, three ways to live.
From the top of the hill down to the water: roof duplexes, garden homes and three villas. Every one faces west.
One view, two lights
The same terrace, morning and evening.
In the morning the bay is still and silver, and the grove holds the night's cool air.
By evening the stone turns the colour of honey and the terraces fall quiet.
Shared places
Quiet places, shared by twenty-one homes.
Everything shared sits on the lowest terrace or inside the hill, so the grove stays a grove.
Materials
Six materials, chosen to age well.
People & progress
A small team, on site every week.
Five studios and one site office in the old stone mill. Progress reports go out on the first Monday of each month.

Architecture & design
A hill rebuilt, not replaced.
Atelier Koyun & Ren spent two years on the site before drawing a single house. Everything here follows what the hill already was.
The architects
Low, quiet and made of the place.
The homes are long and low, with flat roofs that stay under the olive canopy and walls of the same limestone as the old terraces. Deep eaves shade the glass, so the houses stay cool without closing their shutters all summer.
Inside, rooms are arranged around the view to the west. Bedrooms sit on the quiet side, living rooms open fully to the terrace, and every home has at least one room that steps straight outside.
We did not want people in the bay to see a development. We wanted them to see a hillside, and then notice that people live in it.

What we believe
01
Build less, build better
At MERAVI we built a third of what the zoning allowed. Fewer homes means more grove, more privacy and a calmer place.
02
Keep what is there
Walls, trees, springs and paths are surveyed before anything is drawn. If it was here first, we design around it.
03
Stay after the keys
Our residents’ offices run every project we have delivered. 188 of our 214 homes are still in our care.

Twenty-one homes on an old olive terrace above Aralı Bay.
The project
A hillside, carefully lived in.
Three terraces step down a west-facing olive grove to a calm Aegean bay. 340 old olive trees stay where they are. 21 homes sit between them: twelve garden homes, six roof duplexes and three villas by the water.
