Istanbul Boutique Hotel | Witt Istanbul Hotel Designed By Autoban
Autoban’s signature modernist style is imprinted on the 17 open-plan suites. Even while taking a modernist approach, Autoban understood the importance of neighboring buildings, whose venerable architectural style – featuring long windows and French balconies – has been incorporated into the facade of the Istanbul Suites, where windows not only allude to the past in terms of form, but literally frame views of the historical quarter of Istanbul. To complement the interesting details of yesteryear, Autoban infused the suites with a true touch of 21st-century design: laser-cut panels of wood or steel. The laser-cut floral motif repeatedly appears throughout the hotel’s public spaces and 17 individual suites. Autoban’s cohesive plan included the interior design as well. The firm selected furniture from its own collection and adapted the pieces especially for these hotel interiors. Helping to bridge the gap between past and present is an abundance of traditional Marmara marble, an iconic material used extensively by the builders of the Ottoman Empire.
A perfectly balanced combination of history and contemporaneity is hard to achieve, but visitors to the Istanbul Suites will find that Autoban has managed to accomplish its key goal to perfection.
