SMD House is a multi-level residence located in a village setting in Artvin, where interior design draws directly from the surrounding landscape. The project creates a calm and textural living environment by pairing contemporary lines with natural materials. Wood plays a central role throughout, not only for its warmth and timelessness but also for its connection to the rural context, grounding the home in its environment and daily rhythms.

 

A sculptural wooden volume fully wraps the staircase, forming a spatial threshold between private and shared areas. This element serves as both divider and anchor, while introducing a moment of crafted presence at the heart of the house. On the main floor, the living area is structured into soft zones: dining, fireplace lounge, and TV corner; each defined by subtle variations in proportion, function, and texture. The kitchen reinterprets classical detailing with fluted fronts, open shelving, and domestic warmth, offering a tactile contrast to the home’s restrained architecture.

​

Muted surfaces and layered textures carry through every level. Deeper hues in the guest suite evoke intimacy, while the upper floor features a lighter palette for bedrooms and a study. Custom-built elements and integrated lighting reinforce the coherence of the interior, balancing comfort with precision. SMD House offers a measured interpretation of rural domesticity—quiet, tactile, and enduring.
