Pachamama Alaçatı
Nearly net-zero, Pachamama Alaçatı having 16 guest rooms, harmonizes nature, culture, and sustainability in its design. Designed with a climate-oriented approach, the building’s form, orientation, and apertures optimize sunlight and wind for natural comfort. Combining modern construction with natural materials like clay, lime, and wood, it features custom clay plasters to regulate indoor humidity and breathable, ecological exterior finishes.
Pachamama Alaçatı reflects the shared reverence for nature in Anatolian and South American traditions. It is the interior design is where the story of Mother Earth truly unfolds. Using natural, non-toxic materials, we shaped a serene and harmonious environment where daylight and textures interact to evoke emotion and tranquility. Most of the design and art pieces were created exclusively for the project, featuring works by local artists and designers.
At Pachamama Alaçatı architecture and interior design come together to tell a story—one rooted in nature, craftsmanship, and sustainability. Designed by Mustafa Teksoy Architecture and Design in 2018 and realized by Teksoy Yapı in 2019, the project blends traditional and ecological construction techniques with modern methods to create a space that is both climate-responsive and deeply connected to its surroundings.

While reinforced concrete provides structural integrity, we integrated local natural stones, thatched roofing, timber elements, clay plasters, and lime-based finishes to enhance thermal comfort, material sustainability, and a deep connection to place. These materials not only improve energy efficiency but also reflect the local architectural heritage.

One of the most meaningful elements is the hand-carved entrance door, “Yoldan Gelen: the one who comes from the road,” crafted using traditional woodworking techniques—a symbolic threshold that welcomes visitors into a space designed for reconnection and peace.Pachamama Alaçatı is likely one of the first plus-energy hotels in the region, setting a precedent for climate-conscious hospitality.
