Profile
About
Founded in 2003 in Feneryolu, Istanbul by Master Architect M. Can Özsavaşcı, Etüd Mimarlık Müşavirlik İnş. San. Tic. ve Ltd. Şti. brings together architects and engineers with expertise across design and construction. We work throughout the building sector, from architectural concept design to construction and detail drawings, and from project management to consultancy. On projects and construction work undertaken with partners in Türkiye and abroad, we coordinate the other disciplines needed to meet the design criteria and oversee the work and everyone involved. We focus on bringing the realities of construction into the design process.
We use Vectorworks, AutoCAD, Archicad and SketchUp for technical drawing, modelling and visual design, and Lumion for visual production. We also integrate the software needed for engineering projects and project management. For surveys, we use Total Station and laser-scanning hardware and software, working in partnership with specialist teams.
Client satisfaction and the quality of our work are the first priorities across all our services. From the beginning of design through use of the completed work, we provide a capable working environment and the resources needed to help clients, designers and builders reach satisfactory results. We collaborate with academics and specialist groups to achieve this quality.
