Villa design and construction in Antalya
A villa is built on one plot, around one way of living, within a real budget. That is why we do not split a villa into “design” and “construction” as two separate jobs. Pratikiz Architecture, based in Antalya, runs the whole process, from the design of the villa to turnkey handover, with one team: the team that draws the project also handles the permit process and carries out the construction. We carry out our villa work within the borders of Antalya Province.
Why one team?
When design and construction sit with different parties, a gap can open between what is drawn and what is built: dimensions, materials and details get reinterpreted. When the team that makes the design decisions also manages the construction, there is no room for that gap, and everyone knows why a detail was drawn the way it was.
The second reason is settling cost and method early. We settle the brief and the budget together at the first meeting. We then fix the cost and the construction method with the construction drawings. Before construction starts, what will be built, by which method and at what cost is on the table.
The third reason is that responsibility sits at one address. On a villa project we take on the design, the permit process, the construction and the materials work, so you always know who to ask when you have a question or want a change.
The process: a villa in five steps
- 01
Meeting and brief. We settle your expectations, the budget and the frame of the project together. We talk through the plot, the way you live and what you expect from the villa.
- 02
Preliminary design. We assess the site, the regulations and the brief, and draw the first concept.
- 03
Feedback and development. We present the preliminary design to you 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.
- 05
Construction, handover and follow-up. With our contractor authorisation certificate we carry out the construction. We keep supervising throughout and share progress with you. In a turnkey delivery, the villa is handed over ready to use.
Who takes on what?

The permit process includes the occupancy permit.
Follow the construction online
Once construction starts, we share progress online through a micro website, with photographs and reports. Even if you cannot be on site all the time, you can see what stage each part of the work has reached.
Alteration and renovation
Besides building new villas, we also take on alteration and renovation work. Our villa construction and refurbishment also run under our PratikVilla brand.
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. On a villa, our projects show what these principles look like in practice.
Who you work with
Our founder, architect Aydın Uçar (MSc), has been in practice since 1994 (Chamber of Architects registration no. 25555). He holds a master’s degree in restoration and teaches at Akdeniz University. Pratikiz has worked in Antalya since 2017.

Frequently asked questions
- Can the same firm design and build a villa?
- Yes. Pratikiz Architecture runs the whole villa process, from design to turnkey handover, with one team. We draw the project, we handle the permit process, and we carry out the construction under our contractor authorisation certificate.
- Can I commission only the villa design and have another firm build it?
- Yes. We also take on a villa project as a design-only job, covering architecture and interior design. On the projects we also build, we provide design and construction from A to Z.
- Where do you design and build villas?
- We carry out villa design and construction within the borders of Antalya Province.
- What stages does a villa project go through?
- Five: meeting and brief, preliminary design, feedback and development, construction drawings and permit, and handover and follow-up. Each stage builds on the one before and is run by the same team.
- When is the cost of the villa fixed?
- We settle the brief and the budget together at the first meeting. We fix the cost calculation and the construction method at the construction drawings stage, so both are known before construction starts. We do not give prices on this page, because cost is calculated for each project’s plot and brief.
- How long does it take to build a villa?
- Construction takes 6 to 12 months, depending on the size of the project and the construction system.
- Who handles the building permit?
- On villa projects we handle the permit process ourselves, including the occupancy permit. The permit work is part of the construction drawings stage.
- How can I follow the construction?
- We share progress online through a micro website, with photographs and reports, and we keep supervising throughout construction, so you can follow progress without going to the site.
- What does a turnkey villa mean?
- Turnkey means design, permit, construction and materials sit with one team and the villa is handed over ready to use. At Pratikiz we take on all four.
- Do you do alteration or renovation work on an existing villa?
- Yes. Besides new villas, we take on alteration and renovation work. Our villa construction and refurbishment also run under our PratikVilla brand.
- What materials do you work with?
- In design we value sustainable and local materials such as wood, stone and marble. Because material selection and purchasing are also with us on a villa project, we consider these choices together with the design.
- How do I start a villa project?
- Write to us or call. We call you back by phone and arrange an appointment at the office. At the first meeting we settle your brief and budget together.
