About
In Kadıköy since 2008; an architecture and construction firm that designs and builds.
Our story
BETON was founded in 2008 when an architect and a civil engineer decided to work at the same table. Since our first project we have built the buildings we design with our own site team.
We love the raw power of brutalist architecture: buildings that do not hide their materials, improve with age and need no maintenance. But raw concrete is unforgiving; formwork, mix and pour sequence show on the surface exactly as they are. That is why we build what we draw.
Today, with an office of 40 and a site team of 120, we work in Istanbul, Ankara, İzmir and Bursa.

Our principles
Raw material
Concrete, steel and timber stay as they are; nothing is hidden behind cladding.
Single responsibility
Design and construction in one contract; we are the client’s only counterpart.
Quality on site
A sample panel before every pour; the surface comes out as drawn.
Long life
Maintenance-free surfaces, repairable details, a fifty-year view.
