Hotel Interior Design & Head of Design
in Tuzla
Tuzla is the centre of Turkish shipbuilding, and hospitality demand in the district is fed by that industry. DoubleTree by Hilton Tuzla was my first project with the Hilton Group; as Lead Designer at Hande Tözün Interior Design Studio I worked on the lobby, reception, bar, restaurant, meeting rooms and spa areas. That project also showed why a hotel programme here must be structured differently from a classic city hotel: because occupancy comes from industry and airport traffic, meeting capacity and flexible check-in move to the front. Proximity to metal and joinery fabricators operating at shipyard scale is a further advantage, raising the quality of bespoke elements in hotel and office work.

How do I start an interior design project in Tuzla?
Murat Yuksel Interior Architecture serves Tuzla 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 access to shipyard-scale bespoke fabrication are covered in that first conversation.
How long does a hotel & hospitality design project in Tuzla 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.
