The Japanese word "Sakura" translates as cherry blossom. Blooming in all their beauty for approximately two weeks each year, cherry blossoms symbolize the perfection found within the fleeting cycle of life. Evoking a timeless image of beauty and aesthetics, sakuras serve as a source of inspiration for Sema Yazici and Yadigar Tanriverdi through this philosophical perspective. Founded in 2018, Sakura Architecture provides services in interior architectural projects, concept design, turnkey implementation, and consultancy. With its experienced team, the firm continues to undertake projects both domestically and internationally in residential, villa, hotel, office, restaurant, and other commercial spaces.
