Hotel Interior Design & Head of Design
in Kartepe
Kartepe, with its ski centre and the Maşukiye corridor, is Kocaeli's only genuine mountain-tourism district. Climate drives design here: snow loading, wide humidity swings and a heating season that runs eight months. Double-height living volumes organised around a fireplace, transition spaces for wet outdoor gear, and frost-resistant external materials are standard requirements for Kartepe projects. Timber must be specified as a performance material here, not a decorative one.

How do I start an interior design project in Kartepe?
Murat Yuksel Interior Architecture serves Kartepe and the surrounding area from its İzmit base. The process opens with a free discovery meeting: we see the space, then define the brief and budget range together. Region-specific issues such as mountain house and boutique hotel programmes are covered in that first conversation.
How long does a hotel & hospitality design project in Kartepe take?
Concept design typically runs 3-5 weeks and the technical/construction package 4-8 weeks, extending with scope. Head of Design experience across 15+ hotel projects. Hilton, Westin and Crowne Plaza references. Site supervision continues through the construction phase.
How is pricing determined?
Pricing follows floor area, scope (concept only, or full construction package with site supervision) and the proportion of bespoke fabrication. The first discovery meeting is free; a fixed-fee proposal follows once scope is agreed. Contact murat@yukselmurat.com for details.
