01 ABOUT

Zafer Kaymaz

Zafer Kaymaz

My work embodies the harmonious fusion of color selection, upholstery, lighting, furniture, and decor, meticulously curated to create cohesive and inviting ambiances. Emphasizing sustainable design practices, my extensive experience in luxury hotel interiors manifests through thoughtfully developed and implemented comprehensive design strategies. A seamless coordination with architects and engineers ensures that each project is executed with precision and finesse. The orchestration of supplier relationships and meticulous material procurement underpins the consistency and quality throughout the design journey. Mastery in 3D visualization techniques breathes life into design concepts, transforming visions into immersive and tangible realities for clients.

In addition to my design work, I am also a painting artist selected for international exhibitions, such as the 2023 London Biennale and shows in cities like Miami, New York, and Venice. This integration of art and design brings a unique depth and character to my projects, enriching the spaces I create.

As a creative interior designer with over 20 years of experience, I am dedicated to transforming spaces into unique and functional environments. My journey began at Mimar Sinan University Fine Arts Academy in Istanbul, where I specialized  design and explored the balance between art and functionality.

In 1996, I expanded my expertise by studying in the United States. I attended Marylhurst University in Oregon and took interior design courses at the University of California, Los Angeles. After spending four years in Los Angeles, I returned to Istanbul in 2005 to establish my own firm, Boyut Design Architecture. Since then, I have worked on a variety of projects both locally and internationally, including restaurants, cafes, concert halls, homes, and hotels. My approach focuses on creating spaces that reflect each client's individuality, with a strong emphasis on brand-oriented interior design, particularly for hotels and restaurants.

PROCESS

03 PROCESS

Step 1: Initial Meeting and Briefing

The creative process begins with a comprehensive meeting with the client. During this stage, it is essential for me to understand the client's tastes, lifestyle, and vision for the space. This understanding allows me to add a personal touch and create a design that meets the client's expectations.

Step 2: Inspiration and Conceptualization

Drawing inspiration from the client's preferences and the unique features of the space, I move into the creative conceptualization phase. I develop design concepts, color schemes, and mood boards that capture the desired ambiance. By blending local characteristics, modern trends, and classic elegance, I create a design narrative that resonates with the client.

Step 3: Designing the Layout and Space Planning

Effective space management is crucial for a successful interior design project. I carefully analyze the existing space, considering traffic patterns, natural light, and architectural details. To ensure maximum space utilization and seamless transitions between different areas, I meticulously design the layout and determine the placement of fixtures, furniture, and architectural features.

Step 4: Selecting Materials and Colors

Material selection is vital in defining the personality of a space. I choose a palette of materials that complements the overall design. Considering factors such as lighting, the intended mood, and color psychology, I balance the color scheme with the overall design.

Step 5: Choosing Furniture and Fixtures

Once the foundation is laid, I shift the focus to selecting fixtures and furniture that align with the overall design concept. From carefully curated statement pieces to custom-designed furniture, each component contributes to the cohesive look of the space.

Step 6: Lighting Design

Lighting is a transformative element in interior design. I carefully curate the lighting strategy, taking into account ambient, task, and accent lighting to create a layered and dynamic impression.

Step 7: Detailed Specifications and Drawings

As the concept takes shape, I develop detailed drawings and specifications that serve as a comprehensive implementation guide. These drawings specify measurements, materials, finishes, and installation details, ensuring a smooth transition from concept to reality.

Step 8: Project Supervision and Management

Once the design is finalized, the project moves into the implementation phase. I oversee the installations, supervise the construction, and collaborate with craftsmen and contractors as the project manager. Project management involves striking a careful balance between meeting deadlines and maintaining high standards of workmanship.

Step 9: Styling and Accessorizing

As the project nears completion, I focus on the nuanced aspects of styling and accessorizing. Each accessory is carefully selected to complement the overall design concept and enhance visual appeal.

Step 10: Final Adjustments and Client Walkthrough

A final walkthrough with the client marks the end of the creative process. This allows the client to review the transformed space and provide feedback, while also allowing for any final touches to be made.

These steps shape my interior design process, ensuring that I deliver both aesthetics and functionality in every project. In my design process, I always prioritize the needs and dreams of my clients.
