Award-winning architecture — Alanya · İstanbul
The studio
Cüneyt Darı is a Turkish architect and entrepreneur, born in Alanya in 1983, recognised internationally for work that moves fluently between hospitality, residential and masterplanning.
The approach is material-first and light-led: every project begins with its site, its structure, and the way people will move through it. Below is the collection of awards that work has gathered — from concept competitions to lifetime designer honours.

Landscape & masterplan
Topography, water, planting and circulation are shaped together, so architecture and site arrive as a single idea rather than two.
From resort masterplans to private gardens, the aim stays the same — a place that feels inevitable, as though it had always been there. The result is landscape that does more than surround a building: it orients it, cools it, and gives every arrival a sense of occasion.
Architecture & interiors
The studio carries a project the whole way. Bold where the brief invites it, quiet where the material speaks for itself — the work is grounded in structure, proportion and natural light.
Hotels, restaurants and homes are treated as places to be lived in, not photographs to be admired once. That discipline is what turns a strong concept into a building that still works decades later.
