Hotel Interior Design & Head of Design
in Yalova
Yalova sits at the centre of the second-home and thermal hotel market, thanks to its thermal springs and ferry proximity to Istanbul. My connection to the area is direct: I work from Cita Design's Yalova office as Head of Design, leading interior design for cruise and yacht projects. In thermal facilities, design starts with material chemistry: hot mineral water rapidly degrades standard grouts, metal fittings and certain natural stones. Wet-area detailing and specification are therefore technical decisions to settle before concept drawings. For seafront holiday homes, the main objective is reducing the maintenance burden of a building left empty most of the year.

How do I start an interior design project in Yalova?
Murat Yuksel Interior Architecture serves Yalova 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 thermal hotels — specification resistant to mineral water are covered in that first conversation.
How long does a hotel & hospitality design project in Yalova 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.
