Demirci Restaurant

Caglayan Architects tackles the Demirci Restaurant which is located in Fatih, one of the old districts of Istanbul, in line with the historical context which it belongs to with an aim of taking the clients on an unforgettable journey in the restaurant along with the historical figures and colours.

Within the 150 square meter restaurant, sky-blue floor tiles, pastel yellows matching with the colours of the tiles, vintage mirrors, the wall cheetahs that are inspired by the past trends, magnificent special designed bronze lightings and dark thonet wood chairs harmonised with the restaurant culture, those details reflect the historical context from inside of the restaurant.

In Demirci Restaurant, in order to complete the eclectic design, starting from the entering space, while the spirit of the history stylized by combining with all the details of the place, the sky-blue traditional floor tiles had been floored randomly by conceptualizing them with a modern manner.

Using the same sky-blue tiles on the tables and keeping the electrical installation open on the ceiling seem like those are the complementary details of the eclectic design. Ventilating ducts and electric platforms were painted as sky-blue used in other spaces in order to create a combination.

In order to make the traditional view modernised and the asymmetrically distributed woodworks have the same sense Caglayan Architects used shades of grey. A magnificent lighting located in the center of the restaurant, is placed as the display of the harmony that is consisted of modern and traditional harmony and the identity of the restaurant.

The lighting unit designed by Caglayan Architects by thinking all the implementation details and considering the spirit of the place, while encasing oxidized vintage bronze lighting bowls with the linear formed pieces.

Hanged down vintage lightings located above the tables combine with the dominant of Edison lamps, that give hot yellow light, used by aiming with the nostalgic effect.

The blue wood panels that were used on the walls and service line create a background for the decoration by completing the design, as the same height with the tables, custom-production geometric patterned stone flowerpots were located.

Demirci Restaurant, with the design of Caglayan Architects, within a huge metropol like Istanbul, away from their lives within a concrete jungle it gives a break to its clients, starting with the first step into the restaurant located in the historical peninsula it enables its customers to take a ‘delicious’ tour to the history while making them embrace the modern-day.
