Akaretler Row Houses
Besiktas, Istanbul, Türkiye
Akaretler Sıraevleri was designed by Sarkis Balyan in 1875 and built by Sultan Abdülaziz to house the most important and highest-ranking officials of Dolmabahçe Palace.
Following careful research into their cultural and historical significance, the Sıraevler have been authentically restored in Akaretler, one of Istanbul's most distinguished and historic neighborhoods. With the completion of this restoration process, this elegant district has entered an exciting new era and become a vibrant part of contemporary urban life.
The Sıraevler project enriches Istanbul's social fabric; each venue and gallery offering its own artistically aware touches.
In total, the project covers an area of 45,057 square meters and includes 98 offices and residences, 42 shops and restaurants, and House of Divan.
Akaretler Sıraevler has been recognized as an extremely successful project worldwide. It was awarded first place at the Urban Land Institute (ULI) Awards for Excellence.
