Ottoman villa 2

This is an elevation and section I did, using a combination of CAD and hand drawing, of a summer house on the Asian side of Istanbul, in Altunizade. Today there are few such buildings left in the city. Originally it was in open countryside. Now it is near to major roads but thankfully trees block much of their impact. The building was named the Mazlum Aga Kosku when it was documented by Sedad Eldem and it was built in the second half of the 19th century. It is now the home of the Turkish Music School.
A beautiful but imposing villa.
