Craftsmanship

Alongside scholarship, the art of the hands

Nurida Ateshi is not only a scholar of ancient material culture — she also creates with her hands. Spanning architecture, restoration, stonework and surface-ageing techniques, these crafts come together in her work turning history into living spaces — above all at Nurmahal in Yalıkavak.

Architecture

Designing spaces where history meets the present, carrying an ancient building language into contemporary life.

Restoration

Bringing historic buildings, citadels and walls back to life while preserving their original character.

Stone art

Working stone — the oldest material of the Caucasus and Anatolia — in architectural and decorative forms.

Paint & patina

Surface and ageing techniques that give new work the depth and warmth of time.

This page will grow with examples of the work and photographs.
