A DIALOGUE BETWEEN LANDSCAPE AND ARCHITECTURE
The Bodrum Torba Valley stands out for its affluence, strategic location, and ease of access. In this context, the design for the Bodrum Valley Resort emerges as a thoughtful architectural response to the region’s unique identity. The project was conceived by carefully evaluating the area's natural potential: sun, wind, views, green textures and circulation patterns shaped the developer’s brief and guided the architectural concept.
The site is functionally divided into three main zones, arranged from north to south: residential areas, the central hotel building and adjacent swim-up rooms, eecreational spaces and beachfront living areas.
The steeply sloped topography, rather than being a constraint, was embraced as a design opportunity. All residential units - villas and hotel rooms - are oriented to maximize panoramic views of the valley, with careful consideration to avoid obstructing one another’s sightlines. Preserving and integrating the area’s natural green fabric was a priority, making the landscape not just a backdrop but a core compositional element.
Each residential unit is provided with both a private green space and a dedicated water feature, tailored to its scale. Villas include independent pools, while the swim-up rooms at the hotel have direct access to shared pools via expansive, private verandas. This layered approach to outdoor living reinforces the connection between architecture, landscape, and leisure.
