- kca International completes JW Marriot...
A five-star hotel offering a seaside location within the Sea Pearl complex.
Conceived by Khuan Chew of KCA International
and her teams in Dubai and in London, the hotel interiors showcase a contemporary look, letting the light of the Marmara Sea flood in, fusing the very best of sophistication, precision, and simplicity, with the warmth of Turkish culture.
KCA’s design concept is centred around the theme of water, representing the Bosphorus as a source of life, the lifeline of Istanbul through the centuries. It is reflected in the typical Turkish symbolic blue, captured in many of the finishes throughout the hotel. Being in the centre of civilisation, and in between Asia and Europe, KCA have taken inspiration from both diverse cultures in the various areas within the hotel.
For Chew, interior design is always key to a human’s relationship with space and therefore whether they are grand spaces or intimate ones, the attention to detail and scale is of monumental importance.
