TRANQUILLA RIVER LODGE...
By the Quite Waters
It may be one the most written about houses among Istanbul's hidden escapes.
Sometimes the conversations are about style, sometimes its atmosphere, and sometimes simply the feeling it leaves behind.
Yet I have always thought if it as an environmental house. An experimental place, built with logs, shaped by hands, plastered with earth.
Earthly as it is🍁🍂☘️
Cool in the summer, warm in the winter.
A house that follows the rythym of nature.
More than 25 years ago we named it Tranquilla.Today that name feels more important than ever.
As we continue our journey, we often find ourselves returning to where it all began.
We always return to our lodge by the Quite Waters.
And somehow looking back, it feels as though you were with us all along.
Do you remember it too ? Were you there with us by the quite waters ?
