‘‘I am delighted that Armani/Casa has been invited to co-operate in the Maçka Residences project in the magnificent city of Istanbul. Istanbul is a truly magical place with an incredibly rich history and a place where cultures really blend. Of course, I am a modernist in my designs; however, the historic heritage that is left for us is critical to me, and I love the places where different opinions and cultures are embedded. In the Maçka Residences project, I aim to create an interior design that will live proudly in addition to the interiors of historical buildings in a beauty that will remind the history of this fascinating metropolis on the Bosphorus.’’
