Both exterior and interior spaces of the building has the mutual language to provide an integrated living space for the user. All details, from the fireplace frame to the lightings, from wire flower objects to benches, from the main entrance to the wall coverings, are designed individually. The paintings on the walls were painted by a painter in the way that reflects the identity of the space.

BOLD Restaurant, which has a total area of 790 m² on the first floor, differs from the ground floor with its different atmosphere that includes a large bar corner, a fireplace section with comfortable leather chairs, wooden and marble tables. Master Architect Feza Koca sums up this special place with the following words: “The high ceiling and glass facades of the place gives freshness to the space. In contrast to the marble and mirror veneers used on the walls, we have provided an acoustic solution while providing a warm and moving effect with the wooden and acoustic panels in the form of circles under the metal honeycombs that we used in the ceiling.

The Blackhall Hall which is designed to serve special meetings and events can be combined with the Bold Restaurant with the movable walls in the hall and it enables a bigger space for the organization of other big events. The meeting area called Mr. President is designed as a special area with meeting room, service, WC and cloakroom which is open to the use of the chairman and the board members. It was the architects’ primary goal to provide a good acoustics in this meeting room. The wood veneers used in some parts of the wall covered with acoustic panels support this goal. Black acoustic ceiling is designed with the design of lacquered wood inspired from the way the camera visor opens. The meeting table and seats were brought from the BJK Football Club because the important agreements were signed on this table and it has a spiritual value.”

Elips Design & Architecture has followed the same design approach and the material catalogue which they used by taking their inspiration from the colors of BJK Football Club for the design of the main entrance gate and security building like the main building and for the landscape design, creating a large and simple grass field was considered as the main idea. The 4600 m² outdoor area is planned to be used for different purposes such as wedding, celebration and open-air cinema. There are 2 entrances, 2 security buildings and a car park with a capacity of 60 vehicles.
