Turkish Houses
When you said house or home to any Turkish
person the first thing they will recall will be an apartment.
95 percent of the population
in big cities are living in apartments . There are many reasons why the apartmen
blocks are mostly built and preferred all around Turkey. The first reason is the crowded population resided in the city
centrums . Cheaper prices of the apartments compared to houses. High profit
opportunities for the construction companies are the other main reasons for mainly having apartments in
Turkey.
That’s why apartment buildings
are very much improved in view of luxury
, space , comfort , quality and
amenities.
Apartments in Turkey
categorized as 1+1 , 2+1 , 3+1 , 4+1 and
rarely 5+1 . The meaning of these categorization
is the number of seperate rooms together with one big hall ( living room )
which is called as “salon” in Turkish. ( 3+1 = 3 Oda 1
Salon = 3 rooms and 1 living room )
Most of the apartment
types are available and preferred are the 2+1 and 3+1. The space and
size of these apartments is quiet useful for the families with one or two
children.
Typical houses and villas with
a garden or swimming pools mostly owned by a very limited rich people
especially out of the crowded city centres .
Summer houses which
also have almost the same luxury and comfort of villas are mostly built and
located in touristic summer places owned by locals , Foreigners and Turkish people living in big
cities .
Summer houses mostly built in
a complex of same type of houses with a
communal shared pool . These summer houses are called like “Site” in Turkish.
Village houses having
a spacious land mostly included with
Stall are mostly built by stone or mudbricks located in rural areas.
In Istanbul some waterside
residences having a unique piece of art in decoration which were built in
Ottoman empire period are called and known as “Yali”. Yali
residences and complexes are only owned by very priviliged and rockefellerlike
rich people.
