About US

we turn ideas into works of art.

Founded by Ebru Bilgili and Yelda Kayabay, Archimate is a design and construction office that evolves with a contemporary approach to the tendencies and principles of modern architecture. We enjoy our work and approach it with integrity, enthusiasm, commitment and a sense of responsibility to our clients, our staff, our profession and our communities.

As partners individually we have been working as architects since 1999, and starting from this time we worked mostly in the retail business.

We have been project and controller team of Pasabahce Company till 2012. Additionally, we had the chance to work with international luxury brands as local architects. We have specialized while working as project manager with brands like Beymen, Christian Dior, Chanel, Dolce Gabbana, Bottega Venetta , Balenciaga and others. Besides high end retail stores, we expanded our professional business with designing and constructing office projects, residential projects, hotels, , individual apartment renovations.

In addition to design and construction documentation, the firm of ARCHIMATE Architecture&Design is able to provide and coordinate the additional services each project may require. These include in-house building department expediting, preparation of feasibility studies, preliminary scope-of-work plans, budget cost estimates, construction phase services, and continuous dialogue with all construction trades and consultants throughout the construction process.

As partners, Ebru Bilgili and Yelda Kayabay take hands on approach to their work, overseeing the design and management of each project in the office. The office has successfully completed scores of projects and has built a strong reputation for responsiveness to clients' design needs, budgets and schedules.

Archimate continues its work in its Nişantaşı office, creating and constructing architectural projects.

We are united in our vision of creating beautiful projects, first existing in our heads, then becoming reality by giving form to ideas and bringing thoughts to life. Let us do this together – with knowhow, with creativity, with vision. To the last detail. We look forward to working with you on your project.

"the most satisfying part of our job is not only design, but the inclusionary process we follow to arrive at a place that enhances lives and touches many people."

Everything we do, everything we think, and everything we make is about design. We are architects.
