Bodrum House by Richard Meier & Partners

All the houses will be orientated so as to make the most of the site's uninterrupted views towards the village and sea
The house's main living areas lead to a generous terrace and a 12m-long swimming pool overlooking Yalikavak bay
The double-height glazed living room offers views towards the bay of Yalikavak; natural light and views were both key elements in Meier's design proposal
A monumental fireplace marks the end of the light oak-floor living room on the north side. In the background, a corridor leads to the kitchen and the dining room
Bridges connect different rooms on the house's upper level, lit by a large skylight
A free-floating, sculptural staircase links the three floors, anchored in the media room on the garden level
The striking white staircase is an example of Meier's attention to detail
The master suite on the northwest corner of the house opens up to a fabulous view
The southwest view of the house leads to a green garden; each plot offers about 5,000 sq ft
