Damla Akın Yalçın

Co-Founder, Interior Architect, Head of Visual Art & Design

Damla Yalçın approaches the world of design with a unique perspective and deep artistic sensitivity. After completing her studies in Interior Architecture at Bilkent University, she pursued a master's degree in Graphic Design at Hacettepe University's Fine Arts Institute, where she developed an interdisciplinary vision. This educational journey enabled her to specialize in fields such as stage and window design while discovering a design language that connects the aesthetic and functional aspects of space. Her international creative journey was further enriched by her education in product and lighting design at NABA Fine Arts Academy in Milan and window design studies at the London CF UAL.

Damla views spaces not merely as physical environments but as converging points of various art disciplines, and she incorporates this approach into every project she undertakes.

Zühal Aydoğdu Polat

Co-Founder, Interior Architect, Head Coordinator

Thanks to her comprehensive education in Interior Architecture at Bilkent University, Zühal Polat has perceived spatial design not only as a technical endeavor but also as a multi-layered relationship between people and their environment.

Taking an interdisciplinary approach to her career, Polat became one of the founding partners of TeCha Tea, a brand that combines the timeless ritual of tea with a contemporary design language. This initiative reflects not only her branding efforts but also her determination to transform the interiors of restaurants and cafes into cultural experiences. In this way, in her professional career, we have reached an expertise from within the process in hotel, housing, office projects as well as cafe and restaurant projects.

A visionary designer who finds joy and balance in life with her artistry, she also practices interior architecture with the same joy and balance.
