Designed to emphasize the significance of underwater archaeology in the Mediterranean and represent Turkey’s wealth in the field, this museum and visitor reception center project aims to increase the visibility of the ancient city of Idyros. Located on a site within a 3rd Degree Archaeological area in the north of the city, the project serves as a primary gateway for visitors. The core design principle is to create a structure that functions in synergy with the archaeological site, integrating both indoor and outdoor spaces.

Within the scope of the project, in addition to the Architectural Preliminary and Implementation Projects, Exhibition and Arrangement Projects, Landscape and Irrigation Project, as well as Civil, Electrical, and Mechanical Engineering projects have been prepared.
