Architectural design and permits in Antalya
We look at every building in its own context. As Pratikiz Architecture, based in Antalya, we draw the architectural project of residential and commercial buildings and handle the permit process. We read the site and the brief together, set out the feasibility, and work with the owner from preliminary design to construction drawings.
What we take on
On this service we draw the project ourselves, from preliminary design to construction drawings. We also handle the permit process, meaning the construction permit; it is part of the construction drawings stage. We settle the brief and the budget with you at the first meeting, and we fix the cost calculation and the construction method at the construction drawings stage. Construction itself stays with the contractor on this service. The occupancy permit belongs to the contractor.
We also take on a preliminary design, which is concept-level work, as a job of its own. We do not draw construction drawings for a project that is not our own design, and we do not follow up its permit.
The process: architectural design in four steps
- 01
Meeting and brief. We settle your expectations, the budget and the frame of the project together.
- 02
Preliminary design. We assess the site, regulations and brief, and draw the first concept.
- 03
Feedback and development. We present the preliminary design and develop it with your feedback.
- 04
Construction drawings and permit. We fix the cost calculation and the construction method at this stage, and we handle the permit process.

Contractor: the firm that carries out the construction. The Permit column covers the construction permit; the occupancy permit belongs to the contractor.
Residential and commercial buildings, urban renewal and historic buildings
We draw the architectural project of residential and commercial buildings. In urban renewal we give owners and contractors clear, comparable options. We also carry out measured surveys and restoration work on historic buildings.
Technical services and consultancy
We also offer site and fabrication supervision, purchasing and material selection, and architectural opinions, statements and reports. If you need only one of these services, we can take it on its own.
Our approach to design
We say that nature is practical. We value production with fewer resources and less energy, simple and effective form, sustainable and local materials such as wood, stone and marble, harmony with people, environment and context, and use that flexes with changing needs. Our projects show what these principles look like in practice.
