Taşlik Coffee House
Istanbul, Turkey
Built on the edge of the high retaining wall of the "Taslik" promenade with an exquisite view of the Bosphorous. A small structure designed as part of a public park scheme. Its plan adopts the "Turkish house" type with a central halll making an acknowledged reference to the 17th century example of Amcazade Koprulu Huseyin Pasa Yalisi. The reinforced concrete structural frame is combined by an extensive use of wood finishing on both the exterior and the interior.
