项目 - 土耳其建筑师埃迪兹·德米雷尔(Ediz Demirel)打造了一座引人注目的54平方米小屋，展示了当代建筑如何既能挑战又能补充其自然环境。这座位于帕加马附近偏远科扎克高原的短期租赁度假屋，通过对比鲜明的材料和建造方法的大胆并置，诠释了精巧的最小干预设计理念。

该项目最具特色的设计是其下沉式"对话坑"——这是对传统聚会空间的当代诠释，嵌入在现有地形之中。这个降低的中央核心成为小屋的心脏，客人可以围绕篝火聚集，从多个角度体验空间。在这一扎根元素之上，帐篷状的钢制外壳仿佛漂浮着，在大地与高空之间创造出戏剧性的形式张力。

德米雷尔的设计策略围绕着对立构造语言的相互作用展开。基础建立在原有葡萄园的干石梯田墙上，使用现浇钢筋混凝土与地形保持连续性。与此形成鲜明对比的是，耐候钢覆层和结构钢架均在异地预制，代表着一种有意识地脱离乡村语境的工业干预。

战略性开口穿透金属外壳，增强了小屋的雕塑品质。水平切口框定了周围景观的全景视野，而突出的开口创造出"眼睛般"的瞬间，在室内外空间之间进行调解。这些精心编排的视线建立了与场地的视觉联系，同时保持了结构大胆的建筑特征。

通过将生活空间锚定在景观中，同时让保护性外壳显得异质而当代，林中小屋在归属感与独特性之间实现了精妙的平衡，创造了一个既尊重自然环境又体现建筑创新的独特度假屋。

设计团队 - Ediz Demirel Works（EDWorks）成立于2022年，由建筑师埃迪兹·德米雷尔创立，已迅速确立为专注于中小尺度建筑干预的创新事务所，将传统建造技术与当代空间概念相结合。在德米雷尔的指导下，事务所展现出对材料真实性和场地特定设计回应的深刻理解。

德米雷尔的建筑基础建立在2019年伊斯坦布尔技术大学建筑系获奖毕业设计项目上，随后在自然建造方法论方面积累了专业经验。他的成长期包括在博德鲁姆从事乡土材料的深入工作——特别是天然抹灰应用和土坯建造技术——涵盖酒店和住宅类型。这种传统工艺的实践经验为他的材料诚实和语境敏感性的设计哲学奠定了基础。

该事务所的设计方法论反映了德米雷尔的跨学科背景，涵盖建筑可视化、室内建筑和家具生产，通过战略合作，特别是与OoL Studio的国际项目合作。EDWorks的作品集展现了在适应性改造策略和对地形约束有思考回应的新建筑方面的特殊优势。

最近完成的林中小屋项目体现了事务所的设计-建造一体化方法，德米雷尔既担任建筑师又担任承包商。这种双重角色使得材料细节的精确控制和建造质量管控成为可能，同时在整个建造过程中保持设计完整性。该事务所通过教育倡议继续扩展其专业知识，在学术机构开展建筑模型制作工作坊，强化其对建筑社区教学参与的承诺。

Project Name: Cabin in the Woods

Design Features:

Project - Turkish architect Ediz Demirel has created a striking 54-square-metre cabin on the remote Kozak Plateau that demonstrates how contemporary architecture can both challenge and complement its natural setting. Located on a hill near Pergamon, this short-term rental retreat exemplifies thoughtful minimal intervention through its bold juxtaposition of contrasting materials and construction approaches.

The project's most distinctive feature is its sunken "conversation pit" – a contemporary take on the traditional gathering space that sits embedded within the landscape's existing topography. This lowered central core serves as the heart of the cabin, where guests can gather around a fire while experiencing the space from multiple perspectives. Above this grounded element, a tent-like steel shell appears to float, creating a dramatic formal tension between the earthbound and the elevated.

Demirel's design strategy revolves around the interplay of opposing tectonic languages. The foundation builds upon existing dry stone terrace walls from an old vineyard, using reinforced concrete poured in-situ to create continuity with the terrain. In stark contrast, the Corten steel cladding and structural steel frame were prefabricated off-site, representing an industrial intervention that consciously stands apart from its rural context.

The cabin's sculptural qualities are enhanced by strategic apertures that puncture the metal shell. A horizontal cut frames panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, while protruding openings create "eye-like" moments that mediate between interior and exterior spaces. These carefully choreographed views establish visual connections to the site while maintaining the structure's bold architectural identity.

The structural steel system, detached from the topography, and the Corten steel façade panels are prefabricated in the workshop, with only their assembly carried out on-site. The reinforced dry stone wall that serves as the foundation is intentionally complemented with the existing, irregular arrangement of stones in the terrain. The in-situ reinforced concrete foundation is poured into it, creating a seamless connection between building and site.

The foundation and the conversation pit act as a continuation of the topography, allowing users to form a direct connection with the land and grounding the structure in its context. In contrast, the tent-like steel shell that floats above this base stands in opposition to the landscape through its form and materiality. Ultimately, the identity of the structure is shaped by the interplay of two opposing tectonic approaches in terms of materials, construction techniques, production methods, and the contrast between locality and foreignness.

Design Team - Ediz Demirel Works (EDWorks), founded in 2022 by architect Ediz Demirel, has rapidly established itself as an innovative practice specializing in small to medium-scale architectural interventions that synthesize traditional building techniques with contemporary spatial concepts. Under Demirel's direction, the firm demonstrates a sophisticated understanding of material authenticity and site-specific design responses.

Demirel's architectural foundation was established through his 2019 award-winning graduation project from Istanbul Technical University's Department of Architecture, followed by specialized experience in natural building methodologies. His formative period included intensive work with vernacular materials—particularly natural plaster applications and earth-adobe construction techniques—across hospitality and residential typologies in Bodrum. This hands-on expertise with traditional craft informed his design philosophy of material honesty and contextual sensitivity.

The practice's design methodology reflects Demirel's multidisciplinary background, encompassing architectural visualization, interior architecture, and furniture production through strategic collaborations, notably with OoL Studio for international projects. EDWorks' portfolio demonstrates particular strength in adaptive renovation strategies and new construction that responds thoughtfully to topographical constraints.

The recently completed Cabin in the Woods project exemplifies the firm's integrated design-build approach, where Demirel served as both architect and contractor. This dual role enables precise material detailing and construction quality control while maintaining design integrity throughout the building process. The practice continues to expand its expertise through educational initiatives, conducting architectural model-making workshops at academic institutions, reinforcing its commitment to pedagogical engagement within the architectural community.
