Maisonettes Yağcılar – Stone Houses in the Heart of a Vineyard LandscapeNestled in the rural charm of Yağcılar, a village in Urla's renowned wine region, Maisonettes Yağcılar is a collection of stone residences designed to harmonize with the natural and cultural fabric of the Aegean landscape. The project embraces the use of natural materials—local stone, lime plaster, aged wood—to craft timeless, grounded homes that resonate with their surroundings.What sets this project apart is its integration into the viticultural heritage of the region: each home is accompanied by a private vineyard parcel. Local winemakers will harvest the grapes from these micro-vineyards to produce bespoke wines, gifted back to the homeowners each season. This unique model not only fosters a deeper connection between residents and the land, but also celebrates the artisanal traditions of Urla’s terroir.Architecturally, the homes are conceived as modest, yet refined rural dwellings—balancing simplicity with elegance, permanence with fluidity. Open interiors, shaded terraces, and garden-facing facades invite nature in, blurring the line between indoor living and the cultivated landscape beyond.Maisonettes Yağcılar is more than a housing project—it is a slow-living experience, rooted in place, seasonality, and the quiet rituals of nature.
