Wangan Studio has launched in London, extending its integrated model of architecture, interiors, branding, and experience design to the UK. With established studios in Istanbul and Paris, the move creates a three-city network operating as one connected team. The London hub targets hospitality, retail, and real estate clients seeking concept-driven environments delivered without fragmentation.
Wanganโs defining principle is that space and brand are developed in parallel as part of a single universe. The team partners with clients from concept and spatial design through positioning, programming, and collaborations to launch. Award-winning hospitality projects like the Ara Gรผler Museum + Leica Showroom, Monochrome Brasserie, and Gina Restaurant built its reputation across Europe. For developers and operators, the approach shortens handoff risk and aligns F&B, hotel, and retail interiors with brand identity from day one.
Three Studios, One Design System. Istanbul remains the foundation of the practice, Paris serves as its cultural and brand-led hub, and London marks the next step driven by UK demand. โLondon has always been part of that trajectory. But itโs also a market unto itself โ one you have to be fully present in to operate properly,โ said Co-Founder Kutay Yorulmaz. For real estate investors, the structure offers regional consistency and clarity across Turkey, France, and the UK, critical for multi-market rollouts.
โLondon rewards clarity. It rewards ideas that hold together,โ said Co-Founder Mert Can Uzyฤฑldฤฑrฤฑm. The cityโs mix of heritage and reinvention creates the tension where Wangan operates. The launch follows eight years of work in Istanbul and Paris and responds to clients demanding fully realised, experience-led concepts over surface-level design. For asset managers and placemakers, integrated delivery helps unify architecture, FF&E, and brand touchpoints in competitive high streets and mixed-use schemes.
โOur ambition is to build strong, permanent pillars in the key hospitality markets globally,โ said Co-Founder Kerem รzerler. Istanbul, Paris, and London now function as connected points in a single system. The London studio will act as a focused hub for UK and international briefs, supporting developers and brands redefining designโs role across sectors.
