Los Angeles-based Powerstrip Studio stands out in the transformation story of Tersane Istanbul with its signature at Aliée Istanbul, where it turns interior architecture into a narrative and carries the hotel beyond being just a place to stay. Led by Dayna Lee and Ted Berner, the studio behind Aliée Istanbul’s spatial designs achieves success in the project by interpreting historical layers through a contemporary perspective and giving the address a distinctive character. Tersane Istanbul, an industrial heritage site that served as a center of production and movement for centuries, has become more than a restored structure through Powerstrip Studio’s unique attention to detail. It has transformed into an atmospheric experience where the past and present intertwine, with Aliée Istanbul taking its place as an iconic address within this transformation. The American design studio’s innovative vision can be seen in every detail of Aliée Istanbul, from the guest rooms to Little House restaurant. Approaching Aliée Istanbul’s multidisciplinary hotel concept with timeless storytelling, Powerstrip Studio reflects an eclectic, modern, and dynamic attitude in the unique world it has created. As a result, the hotel has become a meeting point where global travel enthusiasts and Istanbulites with refined taste cross paths. Shaped by natural stone, dramatic lighting, and the fairytale atmosphere of the Golden Horn, the hotel’s distinctive interior design aims not only to welcome guests but also to take them on a journey through Istanbul’s historical and cultural memory. In this sense, Aliée Istanbul shines as the project that most powerfully represents Powerstrip Studio’s creative vision at Tersane Istanbul.
