Hi. I'm Alp, an architect and interior designer.
I’m a passionate designer, collaborating with creatives and studios across the world to create meaningful and unique works of architecture, interior design, products, and brand identity.
I hold dual bachelor’s degrees in Architecture and Civil Engineering from Istanbul Technical University. During my studies, I participated in a master’s-level design studio at École Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture de Grenoble through an academic exchange program. Early in my career, I gained practical experience through internships in civil engineering at Emaar Turkey and in architecture at Super Eight Istanbul. I also actively took part in architectural design competitions, earning first prize in Autodesk Revit’s "Design with BIM" competition.
My professional journey began at Erginoğlu & Çalışlar Architects, where I played a key role in the Bodrum Demirbükü Residences project; a competition winner and finalist at the World Architecture Festival (WAF) 2017. I then worked independently as a freelance architect, delivering office, commercial, and residential projects, while also designing and producing custom furniture and accessories.
Later, I joined I-AM Istanbul, contributing to a wide range of architectural and interior design projects for global and local clients including Nike, KFC, The House Hotel, Turkcell, NBK, Garanti, and VakıfBank. This experience gave me valuable insight into how architecture, interior design, and brand identity intersect. I subsequently worked with Gürcan Dere Studio on a variety of office, restaurant, and residential projects.
In 2020, I co-founded Studio Noga, an architecture, interior design, and branding firm based in Istanbul and Barcelona. At Studio Noga, we have delivered comprehensive design solutions across residential, hospitality, F&B, retail, workplace and fitness sectors, managing all phases from concept to construction; dedicated to creating thoughtful, functional, and visually engaging spaces while ensuring a seamless and collaborative client experience.
