About
Aslıhan Özen is an architect and urban researcher working at the intersection of architecture, interiors, and urbanism. Based between Istanbul
and Hamburg, her practice focuses on shaping refined spatial experiences through contextual thinking, material-driven design, and spatial clarity.
She holds a Bachelor of Architecture from Yıldız Technical University and a Master’s degree in Architecture from Middle East Technical University.
During her master’s studies, she conducted thesis research at Politecnico di Torino, focusing on social data-informed responsive design systems,
with particular emphasis on urban-scale applications.
She has worked at architectural offices in Istanbul, Turin, and Hamburg, gaining exposure to diverse design cultures and architectural contexts.
Since 2018, she has been practicing as an architect, developing and managing projects across multiple scales, from interior spaces to larger urban
frameworks and masterplans.

Mission
Her work is driven by a strong interest in resilient and responsive design systems, and in exploring how data and design thinking can contribute to
more inclusive and adaptable cities.
She investigates architecture as a medium for atmosphere, interaction, and transformation, focusing on how spatial systems operate within changing
social and urban conditions. Her practice examines how architectural logics can respond to evolving modes of inhabitation, producing environments
where material, program, and context form precise and continuous spatial relationships.

Experience
Since 2018, she has been practicing as an architect, developing and managing projects across multiple scales, from interiors to masterplans.
Her work spans residential and hospitality projects across international contexts, from concept design through schematic development, permit packages, construction documentation, and IFC delivery.
She has gained experience across Istanbul, Turin, and Hamburg, working within multidisciplinary environments and collaborating with consultants, engineers, and international project teams across all design phases.
Her experience includes residential and hospitality projects developed within international brand frameworks such as Accor, Hilton, Radisson Hotel Group, and Marriott.
