Turgutreis

Kilta's office is in Akyarlar, part of Turgutreis. We design villas, residential complexes, commercial buildings and hotels in and around Turgutreis, including permits, landscape and interiors.

Yalıkavak

In Yalıkavak we read sloping land, views and zoning conditions together to design villas and homes, prepare permit files, and plan gardens and interiors.

Gümüşlük

Many plots in Gümüşlük carry conservation status and need board procedures. Before a project starts, we review the plot's zoning and protection status and set out a workable plan.

Türkbükü

On coastal and hillside plots in Türkbükü, we assess Coastal Law restrictions and zoning from the start when designing villas, hotels and homes.

Bitez

In Bitez we start by separating zoned building plots from agricultural land, where building is limited by Law No. 5403 and its regulation. The architecture and landscape follow from the land type.

In Gündoğan we review the zoning status for homes, villas and small commercial buildings, and provide design, permits, landscape and interiors.
