Olive Garden Villas presents the blending of a modern Mediterranean style with an international flare. It is a marriage of mimimalist dimensions and warm Mediterranean materials. Olive Garden Villas applies a unique design sensibility to the highly evolved definition of an exclusive Turkish vacation development. Individual houses complement the natural environment, accentuating the dramatic play of mountain, sea and sky. They have been positioned to make optimum use of existing mature olive trees and other flora as well as the unique opportunities provided by challenges of gradient. No two houses are alike and no two vistas are the same. Five distinct housing typologies create a coherent interplay of stucco and stone, transparency and sky, hillside and waterscape. Terraced living spaces inspire the unusual positioning of pools and courtyards, indoor and outdoor living areas that challenge the normal layout of living on different levels.
