Branded hotel projects don't often give
designers free rein. But in projects like
the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Istanbul
Piyalepas¸ a, they're not slowing down
the race for eye-catching style.
BY ORIANA LERNER
M I R H A N B İ L İ R ( D O U B LT R E E , Ç E T I N K AYA )
FOR THE TEAM at Istanbul-based Space Architects &
Designers, a weighty volume of brand standards from
Hilton Worldwide for its full-service DoubleTree flag
was a roadmap, not a roadblock. There were more than
a few have-tos for the 204-key property, no question.
"Hilton has strict standards for every single detail
in the hotel from the textile choices to the design of
the reception desk," says Kaan Çetinkaya, Space's
founder and chief designer. Those rules had the
potential to short-circuit debates about radical reinvention of the check-in process or exotic fabric
choices, so Çetinkaya decided to go for high drama
where it counted to guests' eyes-on every surface
and in every detail not regulated by the brand.
Keeping a playful, tactile sensibility was key to
turning a six-story atrium space into a series of visual
experiences. Layering organic and manmade materials
and adding in texture made that massive block look
dramatic, not cold.
Reflection and refraction further helped subdivide
those volumes. "Mirrors helped us create the glamourous effect we wanted with their reflections of the
environment," says Çetinkaya. "Living walls gave the
space a warm feeling, which produced a great contrast

give the lobby atrium an
escapist feel.
2 Replacing conventional
art pieces with a living
wall and striated patterns offers a multifaceted visual impact.

shapes draw attention
to the conference floor.
