OT began in 2013 as a humour and literature magazine, whose first motto, "Maksat Yeşillik Olsun", was spoken by the cow in its original logo. That same year the magazine opened a small table in Galata where writers, illustrators and readers would drop by for tea and conversation. In 2014, OT Grup turned that conversation into a franchise café brand, and the studio created both its first concept and its spatial identity, translating the magazine's layered, witty and warm voice into architecture. The OT Kafe concept received a Highly Commended distinction at the European Property Awards 2015-2016. Since then the studio has designed 28 OT venues across Turkey, including new openings, relocations and renewals; the brand operates 14 branc... More

Beymen Restaurant & Cafe Dortmund sits in North Rhine-Westphalia, the region where the Turkish community in Germany has its deepest roots and where Turkish entrepreneurship has grown for generations.

Bella explores how architecture can transform the perception of a large commercial interior without compromising its openness. Located on the ground floor of a shopping centre, the restaurant is defined by generous proportions, five-metre-high ceilings, wide structural spans, and panoramic glazing. Rather than hiding these conditions, the design uses them as the starting point for creating a more layered and human-scale environment. WOW Project WOW Project WOW Project The interior is organised as a sequence of distinct spatial moments rather than one continuous dining hall. Changes in level, an internal balcony, raised platforms, arched openings, and a central open kitchen introduce rhythm and depth, breaking down the scale... More

Quang Dam SON – Bếp Nhà Đãi Khách is a Vietnamese dining space in Ho Chi Minh City built around a simple idea: the atmosphere of a Vietnamese home can be translated into architecture, not through literal imagery, but through the way spaces are organised, connected, and inhabited. Quang Dam The project takes the familiar domestic sequence of the veranda, kitchen, living and dining room, and formal sitting room, and reinterprets it across the third and fourth floors of an existing urban building. Rather than treating these references as decorative motifs, the design uses them as a spatial structure for hospitality: a restaurant that feels less like a venue and more like a house prepared to receive guests....

An authentic dining experience that fuses varied traditional dishes through a modern lens. Taking inspiration from the regional art and architecture of India, the architectural forms follow a similar logic. Here the traditional Indian repeating archway, as seen in many historic buildings and Kalamkari Art, is abstracted as a cascading triangular form materializing in the bar and in ceiling elements.  Mikiko Kikuyama Mikiko Kikuyama Mikiko Kikuyama Located within a narrow space, seating was maximized via perimeter benches and by extending the dining space to the outdoors with a large industrial garage door. The bar becomes a centralized focal point, with its triangular form illuminating like a lantern from all direction... More

This 130 m² café is conceived as a bright and welcoming all-day space designed for everyday use by local residents. The project transforms an empty space into a carefully structured interior where functionality, atmosphere, and material expression are brought into balance. The spatial organisation revolves around an open kitchen that acts as both the functional core and the visual centerpiece of the café. Finished in stainless steel and metal-fronted cabinetry, it introduces a subtle industrial character that is softened by warm wooden elements connecting it to the dining area. The entrance is compact and efficient, separated from the main hall by a glass shelving system that functions as both display and partition. A lo... More

Site approach The proposal is deeply influenced by geotechnical surveys and the plan which, together, determine the location and floor level of the building built on stilts, it moves away from the concavity of the cliff where the previous restaurant, now demolished, was nestled, occupying a less concealed position. The implantation perimeter, delimited in situ, results from the redesign of predetermined constraints: to the east and north complying with the minimum distance from the cliff to the south allowing the maximum possible advance in relation to the sea, and to the west tracing the "tangent" of the beach access and the associated visual axis.  FG+SG photography Architectural approach The program distribution is organized...
