The design concept for this office was centered around creating a workspace that reflects one's personality, rather than mere strength. As a result, what began as a simple shell evolved into a fully functional and aesthetically refined office, with the addition of artwork, sculptures, a coffee machine, and plants to create a cohesive and inspiring environment. A key focus in the workspace design was maximizing the use of natural daylight.

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.
