I’m Demir Eren, an interior architecture student at Bahçeşehir University and a freelance design consultant based in Istanbul. My practice sits at the intersection of adaptive reuse, material craft, and spatial narrative — drawn to the tension between what a space was and what it could become.

I’ve worked on live restoration sites, contributed to heritage redesign projects, and designed for local brands. I approach every brief with the same energy I bring to endurance sport: patiently, systematically, and without cutting corners.
