Retro Palais  Hobby House

Retro Palais

Rooted in a historic building in Istanbul, this design takes inspiration from the commanding presence of a magnolia tree at its center. It blends traditional architectural forms with modern lines, creating a refined and nostalgic atmosphere. A natural palette of walnut, oak, black, and white anchors the space, while green, burgundy, and cream add a retro warmth. With materials like wood, marble, and iron, a calm, balanced aesthetic emerges. High ceilings and contextual sensitivity help the project seamlessly connect past and present.

Retro Palais Hobby House by Yasmin Aryas was highlighted as a grand illustration of architectural design by the A' Design Awards. Retro Palais Hobby House earned the Silver A' Design Award in Interior Space and Exhibition Design in 2025. The A' Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design Award is a highly prestigious international design award which rewards excellent design of residential interiors, restaurants, hotels, offices, galleries, retail stores, showrooms, exhibition spaces and more.
