HOSPITALITY BRANDBOOK
The global reference for hospitality.
A contemporary waterfront hotel in Göltürkbükü, on the northern Bodrum peninsula. Kuum combines architecture by GAD with bay-facing accommodation, seaside lounging and a spa, offering a design-led alternative to the region's traditional resort aesthetic.
The Story
Origin
Kuum was developed as a contemporary seaside hotel in Göltürkbükü, one of the established leisure destinations on the Bodrum peninsula. Its architecture is associated with Gökhan Avcıoğlu and his practice, GAD.
Philosophy
The hotel brings together contemporary design, waterfront leisure and spa facilities within a single coastal property.
Why Important
Kuum is a useful reference for examining how contemporary Turkish architecture can shape a coastal hospitality identity without relying on a traditional resort vocabulary.
Differentiation
Its architectural identity and direct relationship with Göltürkbükü's waterfront distinguish it from more conventional beach resorts.
Guest Experience
The stay centres on the waterfront, with accommodation, seaside lounging, dining and spa facilities supporting a largely on-property holiday.
Design Philosophy
Rather than treating the resort as a single monumental building, the architecture uses a distributed composition that responds to the sloping site and its relationship with the bay.
Design & Architecture
Architecture
Designed by GAD, the hotel is arranged across a sloping waterfront site, using separate building volumes and outdoor spaces to establish connections with the landscape and sea.
Design Language
Contemporary coastal architecture with sculptural forms and a low-rise composition.
