Vedat Tek House, Early 20th-century residence in Nişantaşı, Istanbul, Turkey
The three-story house features turquoise tiles, Islamic geometric arches, and traditional Ottoman design elements integrated into its neoclassical structure.
Built between 1913 and 1914, architect Vedat Tek designed and inhabited this residence until his death in 1942, marking a period of architectural evolution.
The building exemplifies the First Turkish National Architectural Movement, which merged Seljuk and Ottoman designs with contemporary architectural principles.
Located 500 meters from Osmanbey metro station on the M2 line, the house stands at the intersection of Valikonağı Avenue and Süleyman Nazif Street.
The ground floor of this historical residence now functions as a restaurant, allowing visitors to dine within the former home of a notable Turkish architect.
