Four Seasons R01 was conceived as an intimate urban sanctuary, where contemporary design harmoniously engages with the seasonal rhythms of nature. The project exemplifies Escapefromsofa’s ethos: creating interiors in which refined comfort and natural beauty coexist in balance. Set within the dynamic fabric of Istanbul, the residence was designed to embody luxury and sophistication while providing privacy, calm, and restorative living.

Shortlisted: Luxury Residence - Europe Award
The International Design & Architecture Awards 2026
The design achieves this ambition through the thoughtful use of timeless materials, generous spatial openings, and fluid connections between interior spaces and a private terrace. This seamless integration establishes a natural dialogue between the residence and its garden, ensuring that the rhythms of light and season enrich daily life.
A carefully curated palette of oak, lime plaster, onyx, and textured fabrics lends tactility and warmth, grounding the residence in understated elegance. Custom modular seating, sculptural lighting, and handcrafted cabinetry elevate everyday rituals, transforming them into moments of quiet refinement. Practical considerations, such as hidden storage solutions, are discreetly embedded to ensure livability without compromising design integrity.
The interiors were envisioned for a four-person family, enabling both shared experiences and private retreat. Spatial flow is smooth and intuitive, with rhythmic detailing and atmospheric lighting enhancing continuity and atmosphere. The result is a home that is at once calm and bold, timeless yet contemporary.
In a fast-paced urban environment, Four Seasons R01 responds to a growing demand for restorative, intimate homes that balance elegance with functionality. Escapefromsofa’s design delivers not merely a residence but a sanctuary where luxury feels effortless, and sophisticated living is seamlessly woven into the rhythms of everyday life.
