Hospitality, Recreation, Travel and Tourism Design Kaleici Courtyard Hospitality Space by Nilgun Kucukbicak The Kaleici Courtyard Project reinterprets a historic hotel courtyard adjacent to Hadrian Gate, creating a contemporary social and climatic hub. Arched rhythms, semi permeable pergolas, organic water features, and hexagonal stone flooring reference historical thresholds, while modern materials, lighting, and planting provide balance. The space integrates heritage continuity, passive climate strategies, and social interaction, delivering a culturally rooted yet functional and visually engaging courtyard experience.
