Erenköy H.K House

In this house in Erenköy, Kadıköy, we dressed the windows from ceiling to floor in a linen-textured sheer and an earth-toned drape; in the study and the kitchen, Venetian blinds set the light.

Linen, earth, walnut

In this house the wood and the daylight were already strong. The curtains were there not to compete with them but to complete them, so we worked in three tones: linen for the sheer, earth for the drapes, walnut for the blinds.

01

Sheers and drapes

The linen-textured sheer filters the daylight and spreads it softly through the room; the earth-toned drapes frame the window on either side. In the evening, with the lamps on, the texture of the drapes comes forward and carries the warmth of the room. The tracks are hidden in recesses in the ceiling and in pelmet boxes, so from the room you see only fabric, one line from ceiling to floor.

Venetian blinds

The study's full-height window has a wooden Venetian blind with fabric tapes; the dark tone of its slats belongs with the room's wooden cabinetry. The blind sets the light by the angle of its slats, a flexibility that matters for long hours at a screen. We carried the same tone into the kitchen.

In the detail

The real work in this house is where the eye does not go first: the wide band at the hem of the sheer, folds that fall at the same spacing at every window, hems that come down to the floor. We measured in the house, sewed the curtains in our own workshop, and our own team fitted them.
